Question

I have a large albino goldfish about 7 yrs old with about thirty other gold and koi. I noticed two long redish marks along each side of its dorsal fin. At first I thought it scraped itself trying to get under a rock , I then also noticed a small orange mark on the scrape area (smaller than a pea) on one side.

Answer

Your goldfish is suffering from an ailment called Septicemia.

 

The way to treat this is by isolating the affected fish in a quarantine tank and administering a medicine called Maracyn-Two.

 

Make sure to use water from the main tank/pond in the quarantine tank.

the addition of aquarium salt will also help.

 

Good luck!
