Blackspot

I have noticed a lot of my cichlids getting black spot, I've had people tell me that the black spot is nothing I need to be worried about and it doesn't harm the fish.Is that true?

What does the black spot look like? A clear picture would be helpful to see.

The true Black spot disease temporarily affects hatchery fish that inhabit outdoor breeding ponds.

The disease has a complicated life cycle, which is broken once the fish are isolated from the outdoors.

Chances are your fish are experiencing something other than Black Spot.
