Spots on oranda wen?

[TomCarter13]

I bought an oranda a week ago and when i floated the bag in my aquarium i noticed one 1 spot on the orandas wen. I'm pretty sure it's not ich because the spots are bigger then ich spots (i'll leave photos down below) i kind if thought it was nothing and as the days went by it got smaller and yesterday it almost disappeared but today it came back and there was another spot next to it? It isn't cottony. None of the other fish have any signs of sicknesses or health issues but neither is the oranda :/ it eats (alot) it always swims about and is still very beautiful!
Please help :/ he is my favourite :/

He's a gorgeous fish.

I wonder whether it is just wen growth? I have read that wen growth can present as pimple like spots.

Hopefully someone will be able to confirm.

It just appears to be normal wen growth. The white spots will come and go during periods of growth. You may even notice white strings or fuzziness from them. The most important thing is very healthy water and a very nutritious diet. Nothing to be concerned about unless the spots become red/inflamed and/or ulcerated which indicates a much more serious issue.

Yes! They sometimes have occasionally got white strings come out but that hasn't happened in a few days. No redness and i also try keep water at pristine levels

Thank you!
