Hey Phippsy,

It looks like those white spots you're worried about are just patches of irridophores. It's part of the golden albino colouration. So nothing to worry about there :)

When they hit the light a certain way they shine!

I have a similar question. I have read a lot about when white spots may be fungal and when they are normal coloration but I am a beginner and nervous about doing the right thing for my Gary. Gary has a few spots that showed up just on his gills. They still get really pink when he eats and he has a great appetite. Is it ok to do a salt bath to play it safe?
