I've got this fish for a week and it's got white spots. Now I've moved it to another aquarium to treat it with a cop like the guys here said Now it's panting and it looks pale Yesterday I put it for the first time There's something I'm not doing well? My pain for the fish is really amazing
Tank 35 liter ... thanks

Hard to tell from the picture. Can you get a closer shot? Sounds like velvet. But a better picture would help.
@Crabs Mcjones can we move this to the disease forum to get more eyes on it?

You betchya, i'll get this in the fish disease forum to get some eyes on it for you :) I know its difficult, but can you get a closer pic of your sick fish?
 
If it's velvet or ich, you could consider doing a freshwater dip. The dip will cause many of the parasites to fall off of the fish's gills so it can breathe better until the copper stops the parasites from attacking your beautiful fish. Here's a video link on how to do the dip. They are very easy to do. Makes you more nervous than the poor fish. ;)

If it is velvet, it's really a good idea to immediately follow the freshwater dip with a bath in an acriflavine product like Ruby Reef Rally. It has both antiseptic and antibiotic qualities that help prevent bacterial infection from all the insertion points from the parasites.
 
÷1 on FW dip. Very effective on tangs.
Make sure water is the same temp or tad warmer- not cooler.
Dip up to 5 mins or sooner if fish starts to hate the FW bath. You'll know if it hates it
 
Unfortunately the points did not hold out but the fish died
