Help What Is This On My Goldfish??

This just happened within the past few hours, is it from a parasite?? My fish is still acting completely normal btw.

The only meds I have on hand are General Cure, EM Erythromycin and Ich X.










Please help me keep my little guy healthy, I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight, is it one of those anchor worm things? I'm so paranoid. Help me with treatments and I'll put 2 Day shipping to work on any meds I need

Thanks guys

 

The Ultimate Carp Care Treatment - Video - Gardner Tackle

Don't know what it is but I do know the fish is part of the carp family. Carp fisherman carry this with them and treat all fish they catch with it. If no one else comes up with anything you could give it a go, but iam sure someone will identify it,

 

Can't see it but could it be this ??

 

hI double dutch looking at the photo it looks as if some of the scales are missing or dropped off because of what's happening, in the uk carp are susceptible to fish lice after lying dormant over the winter this also happens with goldfish kept outside, we normally remove lice and treat any spores with treatment above but as a rule they slap the surface to remove them themselves,if it is lice ide have thought its got added somehow . what do you think a salt dip would do? or is that a no no

Not a goldfish expert.
Thought of lice cause the OP mentioned anchorworms. But as said I really can't see.

 

The area is just so slightly fuzzy this morning, and his poop is stringy which I've watched for sometime and it's never looked that way. Whatever it is definitely looks like a pimple practically

Should I catch him again and try to get a better picture for you guys?

 

Maybe real goldfish experts have an idea.

 

Lol what button do I press to get the goldfish scientists here to help me? Do I sound a horn? Set off a flare?? Call my local representative??

 

Ive just noticed on aquarium forums when you open it up there is a place for a post under goldfish, you may get a better response there, leave this one open as well gives you two chances then, sorry I can't be more helpful but will follow just to find out what it is

Hahahaha. A bit of patience maybe ?

 

Go to freshwater fish and invertebrate then freshwater forum cyprinids and goldfish

 

Your help is greatly appreciated, I'll be sure to try that out, I'm glad someone was awake at bloody 2 am my time to say anything!

 

You keep funny hrs in America your always asleep when we are awake

 

Hahahaha. A bit of patience maybe ?

Sorry lol it's just that I love the little guy so much and I have the means to treat him so I jut want to get it started. He's still acting totally normal, and the swelling in that area has gone down some

 

I understand !!

I believe it was an injury he might've gotten from a lava rock, it's cleared up a lot and his scales are settling back in place. What a robust little boy! (I actually have no idea if it's a boy) Anyways, I'll let everyone know if it heals completely or gets bad again

 

Brilliant that's good news

 

I was thinking it just looked like a scale got torn off by a decoration. Hopefully it's nothing serious and he heals quickly!

I had a lava rock with a fake plant on it in the tank, which he's never given a second thought to he won't even really go near it, but I imagine something scared him and he bumped himself. I couldn't be sure it wasn't something else because it's was kinda super gross for a day, lots of... White, dead tissue maybe? Puss? Ew. Anywaysss yeah I think he will be just fine
