Could be an early stage of Ich but honestly it's very hard to tell

150 gallon koi tank
60 gallon cichlid tank
2 gallon neon tetra tank
50 gallon yellow belly slider tank
29 gallon puffer tank
20 gallon community tank

If you see physical signs of Ich its too late. It's already manifested itself. The only time to remove fish is if you have scaleless fish like loaches and want to treat them separately with a less stressful medication. Unless it's a cold water tank heat is really the best method and it's free.

Could it be the dots male goldfish get when they are ready to breed?

Check to see if there are white spots on the gills. If so the dots round eyes could be tubercles indicating a male Goldie. My black moor has a ring of these around each eyes. I would say if there are no dots on the Goldie's body it isn't ich.

The tubercles usually are seen on gills, round eyes and run the length of the pectoral fins.

Yes i thought this as well. But then the lumps/bumps/dots weren't on his gills so I ruled it out as tubercles. I didn't think that tubercles were pimple like lumps that forms near the eyes as well >.<


Goldfish ftw!!!
