Wow, I have never seen that before...

When you said “blisters” I was thinking it could have been ich, but I do not know what it is... I’ll do some research and get back to you.
 
Would you copy/paste the template below and fill in the answers for us please? Since can't see the tank or fish in person, the more info you can give us, the better chance there is that someone will be able to help. :)

"Thank u for ur response and interest, ive still not discovered wat they are, definatley not itch, and cant find anything else that is simmerlar, i did read about sudden temp change wen adding water wen cleaning tank cud cause something like this- ive cut and copied the text for u to read:

You may be contributing to a serious disease that forms clear bubbles on affected fish's bodies when you do water changes. Fish are sensitive to sudden, dramatic changes in water pressure or temperature, and many municipalities aerate the water supply -- if you use tap water from such a supply, the aerated water can change the pressure enough that it forces gas bubbles out of the fish's bodies, out onto their sides. Rapid water temperature changes can cause gas bubbles to form on a fish's scales, too. A white fish may seem to have white bubbles on his sides, but gas bubble disease usually are clear.
However i confidently ruled this out becus i use a thermometer in the water i add to ensure it is same as tank.. so dont believe it cud be this..."

I have noticed noticed tho that my other guppy has the same on his tail now too.. they acting normal, eating, active, no significant changes at all so there been no urgency to treat quickly for now (but i cant until i know wat im treating realistically) and nothin on other fish and they all seem happy too..be interested if u do find anything out..happy hunting :)
