a fish with white spotts that are all over the body and are not supposed to be there it usually means that the fish has ich and verry contagous illnes that occures in aquarium fish, i recomend that if you have any other fish in that tank that does not have these spots that you take them out and get medication for the infected fish. ( if not treated quickly the fish might die.)
To be honest it's not worth removing the fish go to your local aquarium store and ask for the best remedy for Ich aka Whitespot, it is a nasty disease but also easily treated, one of the best treatments i have found is waterlife's Protozin, however this can be hard on certain types of fish such as loaches if you have fish like this i recommend only a half does of that particualr medication however there are several different ones available

It will make the skin unhealthy, resulting in a rather painful death.
(yes, fish do have nerves, so they do feel pain)
There is an inexpensive treat for it though.
You just dump it into the water and it will go away after 2 or 3 weeks.
Do NOT put new fish in that water or give away other seemly unharmed fish,
since it is extremely contagious.

How do you treet fish with white spots on it?
If the fish is a Goldfish you check to see if the spots are only on the fishes gills and pectoral fins. If so the white spots are indicating that the fish is in breeding condition. If the white spots are visible on other parts of the fish then your fish probably has Ich/Ick/ Whitespot and you will have to use a commercially available cure normally available at the pet shop.

Why does white spot get confused with cold water fish in breeding condition?
Male Goldfish develop white spots on their gill plates when they are in breeding condtion. Folks who are inexperienced or unaware of this, see the white spots and jump to the wrong conclusion. White spot (Ich) does not confine itself to the gill plates and can be seen on the fins and the body of fish that are being parasitised.
