Does anyone know what this white stuff coming out of the gills can be? It’s on both gills. It just appeared a few days ago.

It looks like excess gill mucus. Fish will sometimes produce and shed mucus from their gills when they’re irritated, which can happen due to stress, minor parasites, or a recent change in water conditions.
