[FiiFii]

I am new to this forum and I made this account to find out what is wrong wi to my betta. He has white marks by his gills. I think are gill flukes maybe. Can someone help me find out what this is and how to treat it

It"s not gill flukes but I don't know what it is.
For symptoms of flukes, the fish will be scratching against some objects in the tank and at final stage, the fish will breathe fast.
Gill flukes is deadly when too much of the fish's gills are damaged by the gill flukes(parasites) and bacteria(secondary infection).
Using live food such as tubifex worms can easily bring flukes or internal parasites infection.

One of my bettas gets those marks from flaring and they disappear after a short time, he rarely flares so this might be why he gets those marks and my other one who flares more doesn’t get them. There could be something stressing him out in the tank that is causing him to flare, keep an eye on him and his behaviour and see if he is flaring a lot and at what!

He also looks like he has some splits in his fins, check you water parameters and as you are using fake plants make sure there are no rough edges, it’s always better to use silk plants or for the safest environment, real ones.
