my girlfriends roommate has a gold fish tank and i know she doesnt tank proper care of them. but regardless her goldfish are getting sick and one has died already and i hate to see them all die just cuz shes lame.

so i dont have picks and all but the big gold fish is about 3.5 inches and it has a raised spot on its side. with redness under the raised part. the scales and all arent red. the red is only seen becuase the raised parts has parted the scales. kinda like how dropsy looks. the rest of the body looks normal its just this one bump. id like to say its slightly smaller than dime sized for the whole raised reason.

it might be difficult to diagnose what it is without seeing it. but just throw out and suggestions that it could be and ill try to figure it out when i go visit sunday. thanks
 
even if you do cure this,with bad water quality it will come right back, the main thing to do is change the water make sure the parementers are perfect add salt and wait
