To be honest I have yet to see Dwarfs with black spots on there tails, not to say that it doesn't happen, just haven't come across one yet. I know that Golds and Blues have them naturally... Is there only one spot or are there a bunch?? Is there anyway you can post a pic?
Not sure how to get photos up on here, but will try....Ill need to try and get a good one of her, if she satys still for long enough...!!
Theres just the one, its like where her tail attaches to her body, right in the middle there..!!
I took the liberty to do some research on possible "black spot" problems and came up with 2. One being a parasite that will die off becuase in an aquarium there is no way it can complete it's life cycle to thrive or hatch a second generation of parasites.
The second is to do with poor water quality, resulting in burns, the black spots are a result of the fish healing. It is suggested that you do a water check and perform a water change.
Hopefully someone can confirm or correct me. If not maybe track down one of the moderators such as Okiemavis. They are good for advice and problem solving.
Shes defanitely a dwarf gourami..!!
Done our water tests and everythings in order, I keep checking on her every hour or so and its starting to look like its a part of her markings thats darkened. If it is this why is it just this part in that shape..?
Im trying to get a good photo but she wont stay still long enough..!! :lol:
Well keep on trying with that pic .. It took me about 20 shots before snapping a nice one of my dwarfs, what works well for me is shooting while I feed them..
