Hi again, I've returned with a new question
First off, I've moved Kiwi into his new 10gal tank (it took 6 weeks to cycle) and got a chiller, so the water levels and temperature are stable
I started noticing he developed these white patches at the base of his gills and on both sides of his face a couple months ago when he still was in his 5gal tank. It became much more distinct in color over time. It seems flat on his skin, does not appear raised or bumpy. He has no other white patches elsewhere on his body. I have given him salt baths for fungus before and that problem cleared up fine, but the white patches remain. He is still eating fine, pooping fine, not exhibiting other signs of stress from what I can tell.
Can anyone tell me what this is and if I should be concerned or do anything about it? I tried doing some searching on the topic but still wasn't sure what it was.
Thanks in advance!
