It is difficult to determine since the image is not clear. Fish are very hard to photograph! If it does, then it is very early infection. Ideally, new fish should be quarantined for at least 2 week sin a separate tank to confirm good health prior to introducing them into the main tank. Monitor for worsening symptoms. If necessary, you can purchase an ich treatment and treat the tank. Look in the Aquarium section of the local Petco. Follow label directions and remove the carbon filter insert during treatment if indicated.
