I don't know what happened to my fish but the last couple of days this fish turned all dirty, somewhat black spots all over. Now he has like a shady beard all over the chin. Is there something wrong with him? index.php/fa/1248/0/

If you are talking about the auratus, it's possible that it's a male and it's changing color now. They lose all their yellow on the botton half and get much darker in color.

If you are talking about a yellow lab, they get a dirty face (morphing) when they are hiding, stressed, watching young, and even getting ready to mate. It does look like a five o'clock shadow.
