I don't know whats wrong with your fish. But what i can say is to not treat with ich x that will ony be for the worst. Its probably not ich if you only see one white spot. Fish don't alwyas react well when you treat with meds when they are not sick with the specific disease.

One of my other Columbian tetras has acting funny not eating but this one has black marks on body and one white spot on top of the head are here are   some pictures I was thinking possible ammonia poisoning with the black marks I have tested for ammonia daily for last two weeks and it's constantly at zero
