I've noticed on blueys gill covers there are patches on the creases where he flares is this normal, he hasn't had a good flare in ages and ive just noticed them?
I will try and get a pic but he keeps moving too much,

what colour are these patches?
 
are you certain it's not scale coloration? mine has some shiny scales on his gill covers. at first i was alarmed but realized that some scales are just silvery (and he's BRIGHT red). just a thought
 
they are silver but ive never noticed them before,

try cleaning your glass and getting a side shot while you take the pic at an angle. there is a lot of glare and water depositis. the only reason i say this is because my betta's silvery scales appeared seemingly overnight (like a day or two) not too long after i got him. he colored up nicely given a nice new environment and good foods. How long have you had him?
i dont want you to be necessarily alarmed if that is the case with your betta. from that angle, it's hard to tell. are the spots raised? like grains of salt? maybe Ich if so, but to me, something says the picture quality gives those viewing it false observations due to the glare and water spots.
if he's eating and acting normal. no flicking or rubbing, id say its just his scales coloring up and he's got some silvery ones like mine.
good luck and cheers.
 
Thats cool thanks ill keep an eye on him, ive had him about a month now and hes eating fine there are no 'sugar grains' on him his tails is a bit tatty but they chase them when they are bored. I'll order some cleaning magnets at the end of the month only got 1 little set to clean the 60 and 200L tanks.


Thanks for the replys guys and gals.
