Not normal. It's a bit hard to see, but it looks like he has fungus (not actually a fungi, most likely a bacterial infection. I would remove the fish to a q-tank and medicate--though I can't recommend a medication. Anyone?
Most diseases of this type are brought on by injury, or water conditions. You may want to test your water if you can't recall any fighting/injury.
