White spots on fish, especially on fins and body, often indicate a parasitic infection called Ich (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), commonly known as 'white spot disease'. This is a highly contagious condition in aquariums. Treatment typically involves raising the water temperature slightly (if appropriate for your fish species and tank mates), adding aquarium salt, and using an over-the-counter Ich medication. It's important to act quickly as it can spread rapidly and be fatal. Also, ensure your water quality is excellent by testing parameters and performing partial water changes regularly, as poor water quality can stress fish and make them more susceptible to disease.
