sick fish

[Rick]

My pond is about 1200gal or should I say two ponds that are connected. Only
the bottom pond has fish, six gold fish and three Koi. I recently noticed
one of my gold fish turning from its usual gold orange color to yellow. It
is turning yellow from its head to its top fin on its spine. Also it has a
yellow strip on both sides about an inch wide and a quarter inch behind its
gills.

As I started to look at all the other fish I noticed another gold fish with
little black spots on its side. Looks like someone took a ballpoint pen and
put dots on it. Any idea or help would be welcome.

The fish is defiantly sick, now some of the skin is hanging a way. I think
it is some kind of fungus. Do you or anybody else out there know how to
make a 3% salt salutation. Or have any other advise. Rick

The black dots could be a small water bug and i cant remember its name
but i had a white goldfish with two black dots on its side and when i
lokked to see what it was, i was suprised to see a small transparent
bug with two black suckers clinging two my fish it was only about 5mm
across.

its worth a closer look and give them a poke but they are hard to get
off

thats all i can think of
