Glow-Lite Tetra appears to have scale missing above his head.

As I turned the tank light on and did my daily attendence routine, I noticed something funny. One of my Glow-light Tetras has a scale missing on his head. It's just a small white patch now. He won't stay still so I can't get a good shot of him with my camera

. He hasn't been acting sick or injured, he's just like the day I got him. Any answers?

Keep your eyes on it 10g's. Sometimes fish do lose a scale from time to time. Someone could have picked on it. If you start seeing more white patches or if it gets fuzzy then you may need to take some action.
