Had her for around 3 months.  Only noticed this tonight :(
 
Is it the worst ?  White Spot ?

I've been told by very helpful members in the chat room it's probably an injury and to monitor her.  So fingers crossed.
 
It looks like either an injury from something or fungal infection. Whitespot is usually pinhead size spots, in my experience, on the fins and tails. 
 
if its not fussy or raised, it looks like the scales are missing. if the scales are missing she should be fine and grow back (?) my goldfish got his whole tail chopped off by a crayfish and he grew it back :)
 
Oh ok, thanks.
 
She's always hidden, since I bought her from the LFS months ago.  So her hidding until feeding isn't a surprise.  But she's become a little more active since I temporarily re-housed a male tuxedo platy, in a breeder net, that started to bully a few of the females (mating aggressively/bullying).
 
I'll keep watching her !
