I have a fancy goldfish who has quite a spongy head who is the only one suffering from white spot and it has been going on for weeks.
The tank is clean and water is great quality, all the fish are active and healthy and seem happy even the one who is infected.
I have been using a medicine which is blue and stains everything in sight!
The white spot is only on his head no where else on his body and the rest of him is very healthy looking, no blood streaks or problems with fins, gills etc.
I just don't know what to do to get rid of this though? the other day he had a huge swelling on the side of his head which came up within a few hours and went down v quickly too which was v red underneath but whitish on top this was the size of a pea, that went but he still gets the smaller bits of white.
I'm sure it's not a fungus or anything as it goes and pops up in a different place and is usually no bigger that a couple of mm apart from that one time where it looked like his head was going to pop.
I love my fancy silver goldfish he is really beautiful just want to make sure they are all healthy and happy fishies.
please help.....
p.s was going to say it doesn't really look the same as pics i have seen when i have googled white spot so anyone got any ideas of what else it could be?? am i treating the wrong thing with the wrong medicine? i did give a dose of internal parasite treatment just incase (not at same time as white spot treatment) but that did nothing either.
