Part of gill that extends out the gill plate ? I’m not sure if it’s a problem or if it’s normal. I’ve seen other putitora in tanks in vids and I see the same thing where there’s like flaps that extend out the plate. I’m just weary idk ?

Nothing to worry about I think most fish gills are like that.

My FH which is a completely different fish is like that.
