I recently got 4 fish a couple of days ago, 3 goldfish and one that's white all over but red on the top of it's head (Sorry, I don't know what they're called). I changed the water a day before I bought them and changed the filter.
Now, a few days later, the white fish has a yellow area on the bottom of it, between the ventral and anal fins (Refer to this picture: http://www.flippersandfins.net/Images/GoldieFinChart.JPG )
It's only in that area. The fish is very active and likes to explore around the tank. However I notice that sometimes when the other fish in the tank are swimming around, the white one just sits (or lies) there, on the rocks. I tried putting aquarium salt because I thought it was stressed, but all it did was make it active for a while...and then it would lie back down.
What's wrong with my fish? THANKS.I recently got 4 fish a couple of days ago, 3 goldfish and one that's white all over but red on the top of it's head (Sorry, I don't know what they're called). I changed the water a day before I bought them and changed the filter.

I'm planning to do a 25% water change tonight or tomorrow afternoon, if that will help.
