The color of the spot (The color can signal a -lot- of different things. It's probably black from what you mentioned about livebearers spots, but I'm a stickler sometimes) Tank parameters, tank mates, and any behavioral changes of the fish.

If the spot seems to be inside the fish and not lumpy or growing, it could just be natural coloring, and since there are no behavorial changes with the fish, I think he's fine for now. If you to notice the spot getting fuzzy or appearing more outside the body, then come back and post. G'luck!
