GrahamC Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Fungus? Only just noticed it and all the other 4 goldfish don't seem to have anything similar. It's that white raised fuzzy lesion at the highest part of its dorsal spine.

Sophia Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I don't know cold water fish much but it looks like when a fish bumps into something and dislodges a scale. Those sort of things usually heal over a few days or weeks themselves in my experience, unless it's a particulary sickly fish and you will soon know about it if so. nice photo too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 ahh.. that explains why I can see a thin black object in the middle of the lesion at 90 degrees to the spine. Had to borrow a DSLR from a neighbour as none of my cameras can focus on the fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I would agree with Sophia. Looks like a dislodged scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I did actually use my neighbour's 60D :thup: I bought a Sony DSLR for my daughter a couple of years ago but the lens jammed under warranty, and then again out of warranty. Currently thinking of getting a replacement lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I did actually use my neighbour's 60D :thup: maybe I'm psycic? Or I could have looked at the EXIF tags on the image... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
