Gilly showed up a few days ago with a couple of white spots on her head. Since she has a female tankmate, they could be nips/bite injuries although they've never fought (at least not in front of me). She could have scraped her head on a rock. She has absolutley NO behavioral changes! Her "sister" is white, so I can't tell if she has any similar marks. Both are frisky, eating like pigs, and the tank is in great shape! I hate to tamper...
