Malawi Cichlid with white marks

[jakobaune]

Hi, I got a Malawi Cichlid that got some white marks on it and I’m wondering if someone can help me diagnose the fish and treat it. Thanks

Is it all above his lip and top of his head before the fin?

What is your water readings?

Unfortunately I am out of tests, but I will be buying this week

But all the marks are on his head

Start doing some frequent 50% water changes twice a week until you can test the water. See if it gets worse or better. Cichlids are prone to hole in the head disease.
