Xingu Cururpira - Does this look right?

[BOTR]

Picked this guy up last night, and noticed what looks like small brownish raised "dots". Not sure if the pictures will show it very well, taken at night. Anyone see any issues here? Possible slight HITH, or some kind of eggs, or just my imagination. Fish is around 14".
Thanks,
Chris

I'm not an expert, but I think it's okay. I doubt it's HITH, if anything it might just be ick.
Though it might just be a normal charecteristic. So you picked this up as a Curupira? Where'd you get him from? SA perhaps? I've never seen any on mine, but he's only around 8inches.

Not sure what it is but I wouldn't worry about it if it's stable and not getting worse. I don't think it's hith, hith (hole in the head) is normally pits distributed across the head.
