Looks like skin irritation or mucus cones caused by skin irritation. Pics are very hard to see as glass is dirty. Need Better pics under bright light to confirm.
Assure water quality is good and ammonia and nitrate Not elevated

Flukes are mostly not visible and first clue of flukes are behaviors such as rapid breathing, loss of appetite, itching, sudden darting, hiding and fish appears to be yawning. FW dips can impose stress and if fish breathing rapid, can severely stress fish

Clear pics are really needed for best assessment. I see several markings but cant tell if its the fish or the glass.
