Goldfish Fungus Disease
One of the most common diseases in goldfish is fungus disease. The fungus is usually in the water but the goldfish will only become affected if its immune system is low, this can normally happen following an injury. Obvious signs to look for are small fluffy spots or dots around the affected area.If you have many fish in a tank and you notice this condition on maybe only one or two fish, they should be removed as quickly as possible from the tank to stop other fish from also contracting the fungus disease.
Goldfish fungus treatment
You can place these fish in an isolation tank and buy an anti-fungal treatment from the pet store and treat them, another method to help infected fish is to place them in an isolated tank, add 3% of salt to the water and leave them in it for around 15 minutes. This translates to about 30g of salt to 1 liter of water. Be warned, do not use table salt as it contains iodine, which can will harm the fish.While you do not have much control over whether your fish will contract a fungus disease or not, you can do you part by keeping the tank clean and ensuring there are no sharp objects in the tank that could damage your goldfish's scales.
