My discus has been with me for only 5 hours; I noticed a small white spot on his side while looking at him.
He is already eating and swimming around my tank. So his behaviour is normal.

Looks like a flaw in his colouration. If it protrudes from the skin I'd say it's a fungus. Honestly, in the pic, it looks like a light coloured spot that's too indistinct to really tell anything for sure. Pretty Discus though.

It's not ich. Ich will look like someone sprinkled your fish with salt. I'm not sure because the picture is a little blurry but it almost looks more like fungus.

Fungus will be a little fuzzy looking. Though like sarkazmo said it could be something like a color flaw or missing scale.
Could you get a better pic with the spot in focus? this will help us get a better idea of what the spot is

Doesn't look like ich. Is it a parasite? It's hard to tell. Maybe above poster is right about it being a discoloration or is it protruding?

If this helps, I got this off fish channel (don't want to copyright infridge) anyhoo, this is ich...[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]
