Shrivelled Gills and Lumps

Hi There,

I have noticed one of my female axies, who is in a tank on her own has shrivelled gills. A couple of days ago they were nice and feathery. Does anyone know what may cause this and how to treat it?

Also, she has two lumps on the side of her body. They sort of look like pimples or blisters. Not sure what it is. Temp is a steady 15 degrees c, Ph is good. She had some white fungus a couple of days ago but that has cleared up. Can anyone help?

It's hard to tell without a pic. My golden albino, Nigella has a couple of nicks on her body which i suspect are from crashing around her tank like a nutter. However sore/spots/pimples can indicate more notorious conditions eg.: bacterial infections (i don't mean to alarm you)
