Black Spots On My Chiclid

[Prudence]

Hi, new to the site and I need help.
I have a Chiclid Bright yellow (Metriclima Estherae) I think. Dont Know if it is a male or female. About 2 yrs old. I have started to notice little black spots appearing on its mouth and fins. Eating and swimming is fine. Is it a Fungal?

Dark spots are actually pretty common with Mbuna - it's normally a sign that they are getting too much protein in their diet, including excessive amounts of Spirulina, which is in most African cichlid foods and is very good for them in the right quantites. Try feeding a little less and plenty of variety but nothing too high in protein.
