It looks like it may be some sort of fungal infection on Tiller. I would recommend to the the photo to a pet store and see if they agree. They can also sell you fungal medication to add to his water. Sometimes these infections can be serious. If you have a pet store in town that specializes in fish, they are your best reference. Best of luck!
