I don't think it's normal specks. They have just appeared suddenly. I have used Prazipro & added new fish recently...

I believe that the dark spots are normal because 1 of my 3 discus has those black spots but it is more around the mouth

My Marlboro Red has always had peppering, but the other ones never had any until now. That's what it looks like though. It seems weird that all the sudden the rest of them started getting it...

Ok, now I'm starting to think they (spots) were brought on by the size / frequency of WC's. I have started doing more / smaller ones, & spots seem to be fading.
I was doing big ones - close to 50%. Now, closer to 20%. I add water straight from tap (plus prime).
I'm not smart enough to understand why you need to age water, & I don't have enough room to do that anyway. I think I could get away with bigger WC's if I did.

No, problem. I appreciate the input. So did you start feeding live/frozen food instead?
