I just noticed one of albino socolofi has what looks like scabs on his face. Another is a little sore around his mouth. Could this be aggression or is it some disease?
I change at least 50% PWC weekly, and will do in the morning. My parameters are
temp 80F
Amm 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 40

The tank has been set up over a year with the same original fish - a mix of socolofi and yellow labs.

The first 2 pictures are of the scab fish, the third is the sore mouth. They are both active and eating, I haven't seen any real fighting. These are two of the largest fish. Should I treat with anything or just keep my eye on them?
