So these guys are acting and eating fine, and just finished spawning for the second time. No other fish have shown any signs of any issues in months now. To be honest I specifically remember seeing a spot or two on the males fin when I bought him, and at the store, pointed out the spots, and the guy said they were fine. (which i could tell they werent whitespot/itch) so i thought maybe just the way his fin looked. now Ive noticed the spots have multiplied. they also seem to be raised off the fin, like they are actually bumps, and one day he had what looked like the spot had burst, and there was a little white stuff hanging off the spot. please help!

and then the female, again, had this very light colored area on her head(when i bought her!), and i think? its gotten bigger. The only thing I can think of is a fungal infection of some sort? Ive kept up on 40% WC's weekly, and all fish are acting fine.

What do you guys think? Should I get some general type meds, like primafix or melafix? Do you guys think it looks fungal?

also, i posted this a couple weeks back but without pics, and without mentioning the female. I dont think the males is itch, cuz A. it hasnt spread nor does he flick, and B. it doesnt look like grains of salt. (and ive dealt with itch once, and it looked different, not with these particular fish tho)
 
i agree its not ich , could be fungal/bacterial altho i wouldnt like to hazard a guess tbh . maybe post those pics in the emergencies section?
 
yeah i hope its not an emergency! but i posted over there too. I really hope someone has some ideas. I think my pictures show a pretty good representation of what i can see in person.
