I got a Wild Golden Dorado and I noticed that it has a black mole/pimple/bump on the top left side of him.
I know very lil about disease on fish, so can you pls help me on what it is. Taking pics wont work cause the Dorado is 3" and super fast. So all pics would be blurry

Thanks

Unfortunately without pictures it is very hard to get help with this sort of stuff, since without seeing what it looks like no one can really say.

Maybe at least try and get a shot or two?

Good luck and hopefully someone will come along soon that may have an idea what is going on.

A similar scenario can be found in clown loaches and silver dollars. As far as I know, this doesn't seem to affect the fish in any way.

My theory is simply these are parasites from the wild but for some strange reason, they actually never bother the fish in any way.
