It's not white spots, more like one small patch mark on either side of this Golden Ram which I just got.

I looked up fish diseases for white spots/marks/patches and to me it does not appear to be Ich or Velvet (tiny spots), Columnaris (pale colored patches), or fungal diseases (cottony patches).

To me, it appears to be scaleless spots - loss of scale - which could be due to anything from stress, to injury/scratching, to lack of vitamins.

Could it be Lateral Line Erosion Disease?

Do I need to quarantine (isolate) it? And use any medicines?
