Brown Spots On Fish

[nortonmad213]

hi so i was looking at my fish whilst feeding this morning and saw that a couple of them had developed brown spots over their bodies.
i was wondering if this is requirement for panic or not?
thanks in advance

There are 2 reasons for brown/black spots on fish. The first is a reaction to ammonia burning if you have had an ammonia spike it can leave brown marks on the fish, this will usually clear up in a couple of weeks, the second is brown spot disease a parasite similar to ich which can be treated with esha exit.
Hope this helps
