Bloody Tail ???

I have a 20 Gallon Tank with Three Goldfish in it...The fish are about
Three Years Old And About Three Inches Long....I have Noticed That One
Of The fish Is Getting Very Fat Looking...It Is now Swimming At The Top
Of The Water Level....Its Eating Just Fine...The Problem I have Notice
At The Very Back Of The Fish Where The Tail Attaches To The Body Of The
Fish...This Area looks Like To Me There Is Blood Filling Up In This
Area.....Could You Please Let Me Know If This Is A Problem And What This
Condition Is.....Thanks Gary..

I don't have an answer, but thought
this
might be helpful. Also, please post your water parameters (ammonia,
nitrites, nitrates, ph, etc.), and how often you do water
changes/gravel vacs.

EMERGENCY
1. check the water parameters: pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrates
2. do the fish physical
3. change some or all of the water
4. from the water parameters and physical decide on a course of action
5. if there is nothing specific, do the tub to tub method
