I recently aquired a pumpkinseed sunfish that seems to have black spots embedded in its fins and scales. Any imformation on what these dots are and how to cure them would be a lot of help.

To answer any medical problem it is strongly advisable to give as much infomation about your tank and its inhabitants. This means a full water peramiters, filtration type and how and how often it is cleaned, substrate, water changes how often and the percentage.

If you have only recently purchased the sunfish have you contacted the people LFS where you bought it.

I do not know this fish at all it "could" even be a natural markings, yet again it could be a big problem if not fixed very quickly, but to be on the safe side contact your LFS and get back to us with all the necessary infomation including a photo if possible.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

I've caught fish in the wild, panfish, that have had this.

I've got a fever... and the only prescription... is more cowbell!
