Please keep us posted with photos as this progresses/regresses, and I hope they pull out of this!

Now I think that we are getting somewhere.I had 3 die of this malady but they were from 2 different batches,at 2 different times.Strange.However none of my other fish were affected.Where does this Melanosarcoma come from,and is it some kind of cancer?Why were none of the other fish ever affected?
