Hi,

I recently got a new fish for my tank, but it has some black spot disease. It's currently in my quarantine tank.

From what I read in other posts about this disease, it seems to be minor and doesn't actually affect the health of the fish.

I was just wondering if this disease is contagious or not, and if its safe to add my new fish into my larger display tank or should I wait until the black spots are full gone?

When I see pictures online of black spot disease, they usually look different from the ones on my fish.

Attached is a picture that I found online with the type of black spot disease my fish has:

Thanks
