white patches on platy

[Caryl]

Here are some pics of Boatmaster's platy. Anyone know the cause of the white bits?

I suspect damage but he says there are no sharp objects for the fish to damage itself on and no fish likely to attack it (unless possibly a male platy)

[Caper]

Focal red or white lesions on the body

Larger ectoparasites such as lice, leeches or anchor worms. These parasites are normally visible with a close examination

Went looking...don't know if this helps?

looks like damage to me
