Looks like the start of fungus. There are some wide areas around the scutes, so you're also overfeeding a bit too.

Thank you steve! I will feed him less. White spots can be cured? How will i know if im overfeeding him? I feed twice a day.

Fungus can usually be taken care of with some medication (silver sulfadiazine cream). It's cheap but usually requires a prescription.

As for overfeeding, presort pellets if you have to and start using veggies if you haven't already.
