I have 3 baby guppies, and today I noticed that the biggest one had 2 black dots on his/her body. Last time this happened to my guppy fry, they died within 3 days.
I'm just wondering if this is some kind of disease, or are they just getting their colouring? I'm really worried, because I don't want any more guppy fry to die.
They're in a 20 gallon tank, (in a breeding trap, they've been in there for almost 4 weeks now.) and I have a bit of aquarium salt in my water, as well as the necessary water conditioners. I'm not sure about my water conditions, but I'm pretty sure they're better now. (I had bad water conditions a couple days ago, but since I added more water, they're much better) I hope this is enough info, and I really want to know whats up!
P.S. I THINK I might have a disease in my main tank, (20 gallon) but I can't tell what it is. I know it's not Ich- I checked my fish. But I'm worried that two new mollies I got might have brought in a disease. Sry for all questions!

I assume that this tank has been running a while now, and i also assume that you didn't do regular waterchanges or your parameters wouldn't have been bad a couple of days ago
Please tell us what the parameters where 2 days ago and what they're now, to help you further
But i assume that's just the coloring you're seeing
Hope that helps
Good luck

Its just coloring. I studied the pics of a guppy and closely relate the black spots with the pic.
