Default Fuzzy Fish - Help please

What is the recommended treatment for the following:

Fish - Goldfish
Symptoms - Grey/black fuzz on skin; fish lethargic
Water temp - 45 F

Out of 25 fish about 5 seem to have some degree of this fungus stuff.

Thanks so much for your help,

water is too cold for treatment. best is test the water, do some water changes, add
some salt. 0.9lb per 100 gallons. get aeration in there if there isnt already.

Or bring the affected fish inside, along with some of their water to
minimize shock - let them reach room temp naturally, and *then* treat. Fish
with fungus (of any type) need help ASAP if they're to have any chance of
survival.
