Tiger Barb named SPOT, Huh

[SKEET]

I have a new tiger barb, he has all the normal 4 stripes but on his right side below the dorsal fin between the 2nd and 3rd stripes he has a large black spot, same color as his stripes.

Is that a sign of deformity or something else that should cause me to not want this fish in my heard ????

Not deformed, just different. Nothing to worry about.

 

[SKEET]

Sounds good to me.

I agree, nothing to worry about.

actaully there is a small breed that have this, I don't know the scientific name or anything, but I have came across some web pages talking about how every few thousand from a certain batch will have this

i think its nothing to worry about and that any fish could have discoloration. Not perfect. but still fine.
its just like twins and one having a different birth mark or somehting. it just makes them unique
