fish is turning black

Fri, 10/02/2009 - 19:01 — jljelinski

i have a parrot fish that is starting to turn black, im not sure if this is black itch or not it seems to be spreading. I think he may have gotten a disease from the feeder fish we put in the tank,(we have removed the feeder fish since then). Do i have to empty the tank? And if so how long should it be empty? should i leave it with water or without water?
hope to hear from some one :)

Black spots on parrots is not a disease. Its a conditions that occurs due to bad water quality and stress. And please don't tell us that you feed your parrot feeder fish. If yes, stop immediately.

How big is your tank? What are the tankmates?

Just do 20-25% water change for two weeks every alternate day and you will see the black spots dissappear.

Re: fish is turning black

Stress could be the other reason. Just let us know about the tanksize and mates so dat v cud undrstand fully. Do you have hiding places in your tank?
Just concentrate on good water quality and you will never have problems. Just consider black spots on ur parrots as a sign that sumthng is wrong with the water quality.

Also, this may not be true for black spots on other fishes.
