Re: help with new fancy gold fish

Scratching is usually a sign of white spot but can be down to water conditions too "although think yours are ok are they not" no need to give you the usual lecture on the ins and outs do we
sadly this is all too common in new fish the reason we recommend quarantining them before adding them to an established tank
I take it you don't have any Aquarium salt handy then as this may have helped with the stress "although they look happy enough in your photo"
treating them with the protozin should hopefully clear up any fungus and protozin infection if this is present
