Scales

what are your water parameters. nearly always this is due to really poor water
quality. start changing 30-50% of your water ever day for a week. add 1 teaspoon
salt per 5 gallons (salt with no additives). predissolve before adding OR use rock
salt. Ingrid

Hi
My 4yo. fantail goldfish has started to shed his scales on one side.
No change to tank ornaments etc. He/she has had a recurring problem
(looks like fungus) on the tail - but I've been trying to treat this
(gently) for years.
Otherwise he is bright healthy and seems to enjoy life.
Any ideas?
