:/ so she’s become much more active, eating well swimming around but I noticed something on her today which she didn’t have yest. Is this an injury or sickness? Also, as of Saturday I started lowering the copper power levels as she’s well over a month in copper

Sorry, I missed your post yesterday.....

Difficult to see clearly, but it does look like a bacterial infection, possibly due to a skin injury. Fish can be so frustrating - first one thing, then another!

If the spot is growing in size, then you should treat with a broad spectrum, gram negative antibiotic, such as Neoplex. If it isn't growing in size, you can just wait and see - it may go away on its down.
