Goldfish white scales

[Beermann]

My 2 goldfish have developed white looking scale "spots" I'm not too familiar with goldfish as they are relatively new (1yr) and have been fine until I noticed these white scales today. I'm confident it's not ick.

Water parameters are good
Goldfish flakes for food and alternate with goldfish pellets and the odd wafer throughout the week
Added frogbite in aquarium today for some snacks

40 gallon well estimated tank, regular water changes weekly and filter maintenance when flow slows down. They are well cared for.

No tank mates

If fungus appears on the white scales it's likely a bacteral infection.
If the situation does not worsen then the goldfish might only be exhibiting minor abrasions.
Maybe scratching themselves on the decor.

I'll keep a close eye
