I bought my cardinals yesterday afternoon. I placed them in my tank and observed them. They had tiny brown spots on them bulging out from their bodies--they're acting pretty normal and one of them has a ripped tail fin. Is this a disease or is it normal.

My water is fine.

It sounds like it is swim bladder, can they maintain their balance in the water.

Scales don't stick out like a pinecomb, where are the brown spots.

Scales don't stick out.

One of the fish has 1 spot on each side(2)-on the stripe. The other has 5 on each side(10)-all over even on the fins.
