Hi All,
I just noticed my goldfish has a fluffy white stuff which are like cotton on his bubble.
the bubble looks as if it is infected as it had yellow parts as well. The other thing is , the bubble has also grown in size quite a bit in the past 1/2 days which I just noticed now.
so I am not sure whether that white fluffy stuff is fungus or just the old skin coming off and being replaced by new skin.
what do you guys think it is ? what the recommanded course of action? I have got another 3 fishes and 1 algea eater in there, should I isolate him ?
Does taking the tempreture up and using salt help if it is fungus ?
I did call pets at home and they said it is a fungus which only grows on eye and mouth and should be treated but wanted to check before treating them with things which may not be helping at all.
