Hi guys,
Few weeks back I saw this white growth/mucus like small patches in-between rays of my recently purchased Arowanas tail fin and now it's bit spreaded. Any idea what this could be and how to treat this? It doesn't look like ich.

Hard to make out in the pics. Add some salt and cont water changes. Could be fungus. Can dab with some hydrogen peroxide on a qtip to the affected areas for now.

Tried to take a clear picture but he's moving all the time when I try to snap 😕. It's growing in-between the rays of the tail fin and in the anal fin, could it be a bacterial infection?

Hard to tell. Sounds almost like fungus from what you describe. I’d try out the hydrogen peroxide and see how it goes. If not better then give a trial of some triple sulfa.
