One of mt fish has recently developed a small black speck on her snout. Since it's kept in an outdoor pond, I suspect that this is a case of black spot disease. I've begun to quarantine her. May I know long it will take before I can re-introduce her to the pond again? Thanks

Thanks, I really appreciate your help. I do have a further question though. Is the disease directly transmissable between fish? I am thinking of moving my other fish indoors as well so that it is no longer exposed to the pond snails. Could I keep both fish in the same tank without the first spreading the disease to the other,provided that there are no snails present? Again, thanks
Don't take the risk of exposing a healthy fish to a sick one.
Noted. For now, I am treating her with medication meant to kill external parasites. Should I continue those course of treatment for the entirety of the thirty days? Again, thanks.
I might suspect a trematode as angels unless they are wild caught arent the usual carriers of black spot
Does a trematode infection usually manifest itself in the form of a tiny black pustule ? Thanks
