Are they areas elevated at all like bump or any scale damage. If not it’s just color changing. Goldfish can go under drastic color changes after being bought and put into a comfortable tank/environment. Tank looks small Brie a goldfish and not sure if I’m just not seeing it but is there a filter in the tank? I do see the bubbler but goldfish produce more ammonia than other fish and easy to accidentally poison their tanks of under filtered
 
Think it could be just coloring. No tip to tell the difference but that fact it has a pattern to the tail is off. Infection would be irregular but that’s just IMO.

This is spot on. I once had a black lionhead become completely orange not one speck of black left with in 2 month's of having him. I was well gutted because I wanted a black one not a bloody orange one lol
