So my fiancé and I got two bubble eye gold fish one black and one gold, we wanted a live tank so we bought some plants and a couple of snails to go in it. The plants had metal wrapping around the bottom that we were told bury, which we did. I think however one got dug up in the night by one of our fish, maybe even the filter pushing them around.. anyway now our black bubble eye has one of his scales kinda flipped up. None of his other ones are so I know it’s not dropsy or anything like that. I’m scared now though because it looks like he may have fungus(?) it’s like white cottony looking stuff, on it I guess because of the plants putting algae into the water. We just did pretty much a 50% water change a few days ago and it seems to have gotten worse, it didn’t have the white ish stuff on it before. I just want to know if there’s anything I can possibly do to help him out. He seems relatively normal, not acting different but I think he got scratched by the metal piece (which are all out now) and I don’t know how I can help him or make sure it doesn’t get infected or anything. Like I said it’s just one of his scales and the white stuff is strictly only on the scale that got damaged not on the rest of him or anything. and he’s not like in pain or anything from what I can tell. I love these lil babies so much and I just wanna help him if I can. Thank you for any advice in advance
