one of my goldfish has got mould on it. it is like a circular white fluffy mould thing that has spread to its fins!!!! ANY HELP?
 
It's probably ick. They have drop you can get at almost any pet store. They are inexpensive and easy to use. Just a few drops per gallon of water and it should clear it right up.
 
Is it small little dots? If so it's probably ich.
Is it large patches of fuzzy white? If so, it's probably bacterial or fungal.

I'd get some maracyn 1 & 2 or whatever kind of antibacterial med that is sold in your area and start it asap.
 
it's whitespot - my fish, Jaws, had that and I treated the tank. The other fish didn't get it but unfortunately Jaws passed away before it cleared up.
 
you need to cut it off before it spreads to its whole body. it could also contaminate the other fish. it will spread to their throats and suffocate them.
 
it's probably Ich or a parasite. Completely normal.
Sometimes result from needing a water change.

You can go to a pet store and pick up some Melafix. We use that at our fish tanks at work when our goldfish get it.

It is contagious to your other fish, so its okay to treat the tank!

Hope that helps! Good luck!
