Hello! My sunset butterfly fish developed light brown spots the past few days. It’s been in a quarantine tank with coral beauty angel, damsel, and cardinal fish for about 3 weeks. I did one treatment of Prazipro 10 days ago when I briefly had a wrasse in the qt tank that I ended up returning to my local fish store due to suspected parasites. It’s still eating well and swimming around. Any ideas what could be happening and how to best treat it?

Looks to be scratches or scrape marks that are healing. Any signs of twitching or scratching against objects?
Is fish breathing normal or labored?

No twitching or scratching, the breathing seemed a little labored two days ago, but now is back to normal.

Can be from aggression, irritation or if a new/newer tank, a slight spike in parameters
