zero...I am not sure if this is related at all, but I had a similar issue with my little YWG. He had what looked like red spots around one side of his head area (I think mostly on one side and close to his gills). I am not sure what it was, but he had it for a few months. He was ok, but then one day I found him on the bottom of the tank - dead. I can't say it is related, but he did have what sounds like the same thing.

I thought he may have been picked at by a hermit or even stung by my anenome, but I really ahve no idea...

well i was shocked to come home and find those dots gone he only had them for a short time like a day or two which they started when i added a firefish that took up the cave right next to him and i have noticed that he likes to take my YWM food and they have gone back and forther with niping each other. but it seems now that they are getting along much better
