My 3.5 inch goldfish seems to be losing scales in a spot on one side of his body. I've tried to look really closely at the area and I'm not even sure that any scales are missing. It looks like his bright orange scales just turned silver mysteriously, but that doesn't seem likely. He is swimming and eating normally and seems as active as usual. I have a pleco in the tank with him so maybe its from the pleco sucking on the goldfish, I dont know. Like I said, I can't even tell for sure if the scales are missing or just discolored. Do goldfish have multiple layers of scales?
