I noticed this white spot inside the head of one of my glass cats. It's symmetrical and I'm sure it's inside his body and not outside. All the others seem fine, although he seems more aggressive than usual.
My 5 glass cats were getting bothered by the busyness of my main tank so I moved them to my 10g shrimp tank. I feed the glass cats live daphnia from outside my house probably 3 times a week. I've had the same 5 for almost a year now The shrimp tank might not be all that perfect for them, and I was about to move them back, except I don't want to if one is sick. Looks like my shrimp tank inadvertently turned into my hospital tank :/
