Fishy-Fishy Small Fry Posts: 11 Kudos: 15 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Sep-2005	Hi, my black moore is sick and I'm not sure what is wrong. She has a black speck stuck to her, it is about 2-3mm wide and she is scraping against things which leads me to think it is some kind of parasite. I've never had a parasite problem before so I'm not really sure what to do I added some new plants a couple of weeks ago and I guess I didn't soak them long enough before I added them Does anyone have any idea what it could be? Aside from this she is swimming and eating fine. Amm- 0 NO2- 0 NO3- <10ppm pH- 6.8 temp 21C Thanks for your help.

Also if possible take the fish to your local LFS this might help as well.
