I can’t figure out what is wrong with these two fish.

The first 2 pics are of a white spot on a 2 month old platy.
It just showed up today. The spot doesn’t seem to be flat. More of a raised spot.

The second 2 pics are of the “mama” platy. They showed up about a week ago, and seem to look better than they did at first. These two marks are different than what the little platy has. Oval shaped and they seem smooth.

They are both eating and acting like normal.

My water tests at 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20 nitrate.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Looks like the fish with the raised small fuzzy spot has a wound with a fungus attached. The other fish with 2 symetrical flat marks along the spine has a scrape type wound w/o
Fungus. If I'm correct, just keep the tank extra clean. If the situation worsens, might try aquarium salt.

^^ I agree ^^
The two older fish just look like they got scraped and lost a couple scales.
Clean water should fix them up.
Keep an eye on the young one in case you need to treat the raised spot.
Nice blue wags .(y)
 
Thanks both of you!

I’ll keep an eye on everything and hopefully they turn out fine. Kinda figured they were scrapes, but I wanted to be sure. The older one was one of my first fish. They’re in a community tank with an odd mix of tank mates. Fortunately there’s no aggression other than the usual “you’re in my spot” pokes. Lol
