Re: my parrot has black spot in its mouth and in its tail ? what

I don't about the black spot disease thing that everyone talks about them getting.. but from what I have experienced with my parrot fish I feel differantly. I noticed a few times my parrots having black spots on their body and within a couple of days they disappear. One night I was feeding my pleco and I threw the food on the side of this big rock that i have and only the pleco can get at it. I do this on purpose because the parrots like to eat it and dont let the pleco eat. A few times.. I noticed both parrots trying to squeeze into that area to get at the food. The next day they had the black spots. This happen about 4x already. I'm starting to think that they tend to bruise easily.. and that's all it really is. But thats just my opinion.

Black spots can be a sign of stress. But, they can also be the color of the fish. Can you post a photo. We'll be able to tell from the photo what you are dealing with.

black?

if the black has developed , rather than always being there,,I would suspect black spot, as suggested, try post pics, in the meantime, do small frequent water changes(every other day),it can only help,and sometimes the black will go altogether, and post details of your water tests, tank size, tankmates,,
