Shimmery, silver-ish spots behind gills

[cjschmelzer909]

I've noticed them since the day I got her, but there are these two spots on either side of her just behind the gills. I've heard that white spots aren't really a good thing, but these look more of a light light gray or silver cover. she's acting perfectly fine, swimming around, and eating and everything. Just wanna make sure there's nothing wrong with her. Any opinions?

My little red VT girl has those. :) It's perfectly normal. Just some shiny scales.

Yeah, I believe mine is a VT as well, judging from the pictures I've seen of female VTs... Although I'm still not entirely sure whether it's male or female yet since it's still a baby, but I'm about 70% sure it's female lol.

Good to hear it's not a problem though. This is my first betta so I get kinda nervous about every little thing lol

My CT has those. They actually expanded to a whole silver area under his head and belly, it's pretty! :)
