I got the fish from a sponsored vendor....
There are more black dots now(almost everywhere on the clown)...the dots do not seem to move(as sean asked)...
Its now been about 1 week....the clown seems perfectly normal...eats a ton...and has none of the tell tale signs ive read about..... I think it is just starting to host something...
But i still have not seen the clown hosting anything...Im kinda stumpped
i dont tHink it is an 'out' to teLL wher you bought them i bouGht mine from AE and tHey have the black spots too. likE miKe said, i really don'T think its a disease
