RuralescapesPortugal 0 Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Hi, I have a large pond about 5000lt, a goldfish because very listless the other month and I removed it to a small tank but he never improved, breathing slowly but just hanging in there. The other week there were two dead fish and yesterday a fish I had been watching that was obviously having problems i removed from the pond about put it out of its distress. It had a white mark on its chest, the other fish had the same. Any ideas? Thanks I have inserted a photo.

FishyMandy 6,277 Posted June 1, 2020 To me it looks like it has been injured by something, there looks to be a lot of scales missing. Is there anything that it could have got stuck in or any predators in the area? My other though was some sort of fungal thing @koko, what do you think? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RuralescapesPortugal 0 Posted June 1, 2020 Thanks, I don't think it was a predictor, the other fish that died was very similar, here is a photo of it. Both were still alive just about swimming. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishyMandy 6,277 Posted June 2, 2020 By the photo there doesnt seem to be any damage to fins? Is that right? Were the white patches fuzzy at all? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RuralescapesPortugal 0 Posted June 2, 2020 Correct, no fin damage. I don't think the areas were fuzzy, just white, sort of clear, like the scales had come off. The fish were really listless and just about breathing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
