Difficult to tell without pics. If they are white, then the chances are that it is white spot.

Found this while reading thru the site, maybe it'll be of some help.

“Pimples”

Treatment:

1. Change water at 30-40%.

2. Put Tetracycline 500mg. per 20 gals.

3. The water will turn into brownish color for five days. If still not effective after five days, add half more of the
dosage.

4. If the fish is well already, do a daily water change of 10% until the water gets clear.

Where to buy?

- Tetracycline, this drug can be bought over the counter (OTC) at any drugstore. Each 500 mg.
