    Nit quite sure, but it could be early ich. If it persists and you start to notice it on his body too, It’s probably ich. It could also be a bacterial or fungal infection.
    I haven’t dealt with diseases in my tank, so I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help, I hope you get a good answer soon! Sorry you’re dealing with this 🙁

  2. since he white parts seem to be isolated to the tips of the fins (correct me if I missed something!), I would say that it’s the beginnings of fin rot. Usually associated to poor water quality and/or stress. Tell us more about your aquarium so that we can help you:

    * how big is the tank? (liters or gallons)

    * what tankmates does this fish have

    * what are your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph readings on the water in the aquarium?
