What is this?

[Seahorse]

A friend's betta has two "lines" on both sides of his face, same spot, same size. It isn't increasing length or width thus far, and it only recently appeared within the last week.

Fungus of some sort? Healthy appetite, not lethargic, and like I said it isn't getting worse.

You can also see a bit of white on his upper lip.

Another.

Are they red? Most of my bettas have had this (exactly same size, same place on each side), but it has gone away after a month or so. Still havn't figured out the cause and have searched this site trying to find something, but nothing turns up.........

Kind of a lighter color, similar to the coloring on the bottom of his "beard" and part of the rest of him, as you can kind of tell in the first picture.

Maybe just being paranoid but you never can be too careful with these guys.

i'll steal a quote from another thread with teh same concerns you have

Are the "red spots" like two red lines? Betta splendens have twin gill bars which are red, and that could be what you're seeing.

That's my quote! Hahaha.... here, I'll post the same picture that I posted in that thread. You can see the gill bars.

Wrong pic, whoops.
