Pic is very fuzzy to tell. Please provide a video of fish.
is it breathing normal or heavy?
Is fish eating ?

So I got to the shop where I bought the clowns, they were ALL like this but... Just normally living? I asked them why does mine have that when I got him, they said it's harmless and will disappear within 2 weeks, and yeah he's eating normally, not gasping, just swimming and doing the mating things

Post a YouTube video, and then paste the link here. I don't think anyone can see that video.

The fish is thin, a victim of aggression looking at tail and fins and while I dont see obvious signs of brook, I do see an ulcer and signs of poor water quality (likely from LFS) and possible bacterial. While there are treatments I can recommend, see if you can return this fish reminding them that you questioned the health of it at purchase and Find a different store to purchase from

I don't think I can do that with fish, it's a small store but I can to a small cure, you're right about aggression, his tail piece is missing

Well that bites as you took their word. You can treat with ruby rally pro or better yet. . . Seachem Kanaplex and should be done in a separate quarantine tank as the aggression will continue and is likely another clown in the tank. You will need to decide what to do with aggressor moving forward. I would place it in sump after this clown returns or an acclimation box for at least 2 weeks

QT you said? Yeah I can't do that, and I don't use sumps yet, the aggression isn't with the other clown, it was in the LFS I remember that, he was already like this
