I've noticed a couple of my Tiger Barbs have grown a black dot around the middle of their body. At first I was worried, but then I seen some pictures of other Tiger Barbs with black dots on them. Is it a sign of age of some sort?

Some of my tiger barbs had the black spot, and others didnt. I never was able to figure out why some did and what it meant. it may have just been a defect in the stripes.

As mine have got older...
My LFS wan't concerned when asked about it - figured it was normal.

Maybe its some coloration to sexing the barbs? has anyone noticed if its on all males or females or a mix of both?
