Thanks for reaching out about Larry and including photos. The white spot appears to be an area that lost a scale, which should grow back. Does not appear infected at present. The tank appears a little green, so test water quality and change as needed. Monitor lighting and how much you feed as that can stimulate algal blooms. Fish should needs to be purchased new every 3 months as vitamins (especially vitamin C) degrade quickly. Good luck.
