Please Help - Brown spots on White axy?

[swiftrat]

I bought a beautiful white (leucistic) female axy 3 weeks ago and on the 2nd week of owning her, she started getting tiny light brown dots/speckles on her head. Now it is 3 weeks and the spots have become dark brown/black...

What are these spots??? Is it natural? Or is their some nasty bugs in the water? *worries*

She eats voraciously and seems to not mind the spots, but still... any ideas?

Here are some photos of her to show what I mean:

It's a natural occurance on leucustic axys, so theres nothing to be worried about.

Yep, completely normal pigmentation.
