I have a gold fantail. Suddenly, within the last few hours, I noticed a pretty decent sized spot appear on his right side. (Literally I took a nap, and woke up, and there it was). It is a black spot, with a white center. He doesn't act any different, he is eating fine, and swims perfectly normal, and very actively. But what's wrong with him? It's only a single spot, but it definitely doesn't belong there.
Honestly, it looks like a scrape or something, if it weren't black and white. It isn't raised or anything, and he has no other spots.
I tried to take a picture, but he moves too much for it to be clear, this is the best I could do:
ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
I will try to get a better picture or a video if it will help.
Also, forgot to add:
He is housed with:
1 Black Moor
1 Black Mystery Snail
2 Koi
1 Algae Eater
Tank size: 55 gallons.
All pH/Ammonia levels are good, and checked daily.
They are fed 2 pinches of normal goldfish flakes, twice daily
25% water changes weekly
2 cucumber slices per week
Sinking tablets for the algae eater (however, I am almost certain my goldfish always eat it before he even knows it exists).
Contains a filter, and a bubble stone.
