Im wondering whether my goldfish has ick? Just got him from a petco, so Im trying to figure out what disease this is. It kind of resembles ick but also doesn't. It is on the surface of his skin only with long streaks of white on one side of him. He is acting normal and like it doesn't effect him at all. Im worried about him getting my other fish sick! :( / Dont ask about what he is in, that was only for pictures.

Does not look like ich (which is finer, distinct, numerous.)
It looks like a bacterial or fungal infection if anything.

Do you know of any medication to treat this? I am an all type of animal lover, and wouldnt like to see him die! From further research looks to be a fungal infection
