static Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Hi, I have some gold fish in a pond out the back of my house, the fish have started to have white lumps all over them, fins and body. is this white spot or something else? it doesn't look like the white spot I had in my tropical tank much larger. The water is very cold about 12 degrees. has any one got a idea and how to treat it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchar Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Are the white spots only on the head (around the gills)? If so, don't panic! Male goldfish show the spots when they are in breeding mode. Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D6C1 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Try protozin if you can get your hands on it cheaply. Not sure with salt and goldfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
