Welcome to R2R! Could you add some pictures of the fish? That will help. I am no expert in fish diseases. Maybe #mods could move this to the fish disease forum and get the experts over there looking at it.

Welcome to R2R! Can you upload pics of the fish so we can take a look? Moved to disease section for additional help.

That looks like lympho.

It is a virus. All you can do is keep pristine water and feed a healthy diet. Very common in butterflies and angels. Adding things like selcon and or vitachem supplements can help as well.

Welcome to R2R! Beautiful fish. Just love the Copperband Butterfly. Can you tell us what you are feeding it?

Can you get us a better picture of the "little black spot"?

 

[Maritimer]

I don't see any black spots that don't belong on a copperband, but you might look up "black ich" or turbellarian worms. They're usually susceptible to Praziquantel formulations, like Prazi-Pro.
