Hello, i am new here. i had 6 zebras in a 40g with sand bottom and drift wood for 6 months. all are eating, fat, and appear healthy. i just noticed a few small whitish flat headed worms on the driftwood so i tore down that tank and moved the zebras into a 100g bare bottom tank. thats when i noticed small black spots on the belly of one of my zebras. they are smooth and look like freckles or markings but none of the other zebras have them. they do not appear to be raised or sunken in at all and they are almost symmetrical. the only thing i can find online for black spots is black ick. but this does not look like that. any ideas? please help. tank has always been at
80-82f
ammonia 0ppm
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 5.0ppm
7.0-7.4ph

i do weekly water changes on all my tanks. i have no idea what this is. can somebody out there please help!!!!
