Question baby blue channel catfish

Had him for about 2 weeks now.Hes cool,eats shrimp pellets,and bloodworms so far,and never hides! I just put him in my 10 gallon hospital tank with my baby oscar because he has these little white bumps growing off his body.Doesnt seem like too big of a deal cause it doesnt affect him in any way. Any body have any experience with them? I would love to know more about him. I know he gets big and will soon be moved into his own 38 gallon growout tank then my 90 gallon..By then i should have my 180 gallon i planned on gettin.

is it the oscar that has the white bumps? if so that is ick and he needs to be treated.

also the channel cat might be a cold water fish I am not 100% sure.
Also if it has been in the tank with the oscar that has ick you will have to treat him
too but you will have to use a lower dose of meds since the cat dent have scales and is more sensitive to the meds.

Its my catfish with bumps and the oscar has the ick but there in the same tank getring treated for parasited and ick.I was watching vids on youtube,and they do fine in warmer tropical water from what ive seen.I just wanted to know minimum size tank,what they eat,how fast they grow,and tankmates.I think he would be ok in a future 180 gallon for life, and i might be getting a 300+ gallon instead.
