Question: a little worried?

Hello again,

I recently moved my beautiful baby Squishy to her new home in my dorm room at college.

Everything has been going great, she eats her worms, my boyfriend makes faces at her, she swims around, hides in her flower pot, digs in the sand, and is just generally her normal pleasant self.

The other night however, my boyfriend pointed out that she seems to have weird whitish markings near her gills, I can't get a picture because I don't have my camera up here and my camera phone is missing its SD card.

However to try to explain...

If you are looking straight on at her head, her gills are pink and fluffy and look fine, her face looks fine but almost where I would say her cheek bones or temples would be, very close to the base of the gills there are tiny white marks. It doesn't appear to be fungus and I am really not sure if it is anything to worry about at all.

Just wondering if this is a normal coloring on her or if I should start to panic now?

It's hard to say without a picture. What color is Squishy?

She is leucistic, so she is normally a very light color, I guess my boyfriend only noticed because she had been playing and she was very flushed from all the activity.

I know in juveniles, because they're so translucent, you can often see organs and bones through the skin. It may be that you're just seeing parts of her skull through the skin, which shows up better when she's pinker.

I am going to try and get a closer look because I don't want it to be something serious, thanks for all of your help!

If it helps my Squishy has always had like a white 'H' sort of shape on her hear that kind of shiny. I'm guessing its just normal markings.

Yea the more I look at it the more I think it is just a natural marking, if it changes or anything I will try to get a picture. She seems fine, she eats like a maniac and is very happy go lucky about life. Thanks for the advice!
