What Is This?

I have a community tank mainly with live bearers in it, but i have a single Tiger barb in the tank and he has what i can only describe as green ich. Its like green sparcles on him, i have asked the fish shop and they dont know what it is. I have even used Pimafix incase it was some form of fungus and no luck. The barb is still eating and everything and is doing well and actually looks nice but i know hes not supposed to be like it, anyone know what this is?? Any help is appeciated. Thanks.

Are you positive it's just not oddly colored scales?

One of my mollies has a few gold scales and they're very reflective, thought something was wrong when they showed up too.

Is it on the black bars of the tiger barb? Cuz if so, then it could just be a male ready to mate.
