Did a 5 min freshwater dip on my fish and these stuffs fell of him would anyone know what these are?
 
These white fragments do not appear to be *Benedenia*, and the edges of the fragments seem irregular. Gill flukes are usually very difficult to see with the naked eye and require a microscope. In summary, I believe this is mucus secreted by the fish’s gills after stress, which sloughed off during the freshwater dip.
