I got home from a funeral, I was gone for 2 days and they went un-fed, I get back and look at my favorite fish Fatty(a BP) and he has a big black blotch on top of his head, I can get a picture but it would be hard.
What's Wrong With My Bp?!

Check out www.parrotcichlid.com They have quite a few articles about black spot on BP's.
I don't think it is anything serious, maybe just stress related.
HTH,

No I got him intentionally because in the store he was the boss of the tank and he's bigger then my convict and FM, he's the boss of this tank, he has 2 caves that he has claimed as his own, could the lights being left on for over 24 hours have caused it? I had to run out the door as fast as possible so I didn't have much time to leave people in instructions.
Could be the lights - BP's can be such stressful little (or big) things sometimes - shame there aren't fish shrinks for them, lol.
Let us know how he is tomorrow - hopefully the mark will have gone down somewhat if the lighting's gone back to normal (maybe there was just too much "daylight" for his liking/not a normal daily occurrence for him).
Finger's crossed.
p.s. should ask - i assume the other fish are all okay/acting normal?
Seriously? Wow, didn't know that - can you do anything to help with the healing?
His tank mates are just peachy, they are there normal selves, and so is he except the black blotch on him, I also noticed there is a little bit of black spread out on his tail fin. He's eating and playing with me like he normally does aswell.
