Help! What is this?!

[Yaxley]

Can anyone tell me what these black markings on my smallest Sajica Cichlid are? I've just noticed today and they look strange! Not White like ICH and no other symptoms or marks on other fish! Help!

Well, that's just weird, and I have never seen anything like it! I hope someone else comes along and can help out.
What are your water parameters?

I really hope someone can tell me what this is! As the smallest fish in the tank this Cichlid gets chased a fair bit but could this have been caused by stress? There has been no change in behaviour!

It looks like a convict cichlid.

Haha not the fish! It's a T-Bar/Sajica Cichlid but what are the strange blue markings in the first image under the face!

I honestly dont know. If I had to take a guess it might be part if his/her camouflage. Sorry.

I think it's just part of it's coloring.
