smudged white marks --is it ick

[Fishie]

ive been thinking of getting some fish from a lfs but they have smudged whitish markings on the fins...what is this a sign of ?

 

they are flat and not tiny bump outs like ick usually has

 

is this a sign of a ick spore that has already broken out...or just some normal markings that go away

 

ive seen this before on other fish and it seems to go away with time...just wanna know what it is

I wouldnt buy a fish in anything less than pristine condition. I know ordering online can be a crapshoot, but if you can stand there and visibly inspect it, I wouldnt do it if its not perfect. Unless you have a nice QT system set up, then you can monitor it. What type of fish.?
