Does my red cherry have a shell disease? I have googled it but I'm not sure whether it really is sick.

Jeff, I've had RCS in a few of my tanks for years now and haven't heard or seen this disease. To me that looks like a healthy female RCS, possibly ready to molt.

Thank you for your reply. I really hope you are right. I site made me scared abouy thosd black spots saying it was due to Chitinolytic bacteria.
