Hi, I could use some expert help with my goldfish. I treated him for some tail spots that looked like fungus (white cottony balls that were raised on both sides of tail fin) or bruises a month or so ago with a pimafix treatiment.
it look like it resolved. Now I notice a large raised spot on the head and the same kind of tail spots. Head bump is under the skin. Not sure how long it may have been there, perhaps more than 1 week. He is not eating much.
I don't have a hospital tank. Would like suggestions for how to treat. Thanks, John Note: I can email a digital photo, but I don't know how to paste a photo here.
