I am not sure man I did a water change the same day and I looked and found him like this which is why I was confused all my other fish are fine

Maybe it scraped against decorations and scales came off. It doesn’t seem anything harmful

Looks like something is eating the slimecoat. What tankmates are in there?

Looks like something is eating off the slime . Could be the kissing gourami Or any other tankmate.

Absolutely agree it's probably that Kissing Gourami that caused the spot from sucking on Ornate.

Ornate

Yeah, I agree about the kissing gourami since they are more filter feeders, so it's either due to aggression (yeah KG can be real holes) or it's looking for something to eat.

Do you have any ornaments that could cause some injure?

My bichir usually wakes up with some white spots like yours... I think that it's caused by the rocks while it chase the other bichir, but i'm not sure.
