I've had a single BN pleco in my 29g (76*F, 6.6ph, gh/kh 1) for a little over a year now and he has these white patches with white bumps in them randomly throughout his body. The bumps look like ich, but I dont believe they are because they stay confined to the white patches and none of the other fish have any symptoms. The tank has had the same occupants for the past year so its not contagious to the tetras or single guppy. He acts completely normal so I never bothered with figuring out what was exactly wrong with him until now. I want to move him to my 180 gallon to be with the 3 female BNs but I do not want to introduce anything that could infect the females. I searched around the forum and google and couldn't really find anything that was spot on to my pleco. Body fungus was about the only thing that kind of resembled my pleco so I figured I would ask someone who knows more than me here Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
edit - here are pics... you can see the patches on his back that have white bumps in them, the bumps run down toward the eyes and one patch near his tail. Sometimes he only has a few smaller patches, they seem to be random.
