Lately some of my fish have come down with these black spots, mostly around under their mouth.
Take a look and let me know what you think. At the moment I am treating with Wardley Ickaway.

Got parasites? Yep. My doctor gave me a cream which... oh, fish? Well... No idea then. I am a fan of melafix and salt. Seperately or together. Has fixed just about everything I have come across.
Good luck.

Black Spot
Symptoms: Small black specks on the body.
Treatment: Black spot is generally easy to cure. There are a number of commercially available treatments and preventatives.
Information: Black Spot, or diplopstomiasis, often follows the addition of new aquarium fish. All fish are susceptible, especially the Silver Dollar and Piranha. It is fairly easy to diagnose and treat.
Treatment/Control: treatment is rarely necessary, and in most cases, low-level infestations of black spot will disappear over time.
cheer's: red
Thanks for the info guys ;)
appreciated
