Fish disease?

Hey Guys, noticed some white spots on this new clown i purchased just wondering if this looks like something wrong or just discolouration.

@Jay Hemdal would probably be the person to ask. Definitely doesn’t look normal, could be my eyes but the body looks a bit oddly shaped.

Shape is odd but this fish appears to have a bad case of ich as well. Jay has treatment options for you when he gets the time.

Hi.
The fish seems to have a mix of issues - it may have ich, it is pretty thin and there also seems to be some other white spots that aren’t ich.
Do you have the ability to isolate the fish and treat with copper?
What other fish is it in with?

Sadly my fish passed after only having it for a day, I hope the illness doesn’t pass onto my other clown :/

If it was ich as it appears to be, the other fish have been exposed. Hopefully they won't contract it, but commonly they will. Do you have an isolation tank? I would contact your dealer to let them know that you lost the fish so quickly.
