Gold fish Pineconing

Question
2 orandas in a 20 gallon tank that i keep at 68 degrees. one of them has pineconed scales but is swimming, eating and seems completely normal. i have been giving him epsom salt and kosher salt baths. it only seems to keep the pineconing just under control.  there was also a cut on his wen but that has healed really well, if thats even relevant. should i give up or is there anything else i can do. three was also a cut on his wen but that has healed really well, if thats even relevant. I really like this fish and want to save him

Answer
Hi Sam,
 Unfortunately I do not know of any magic bullet.  I suggest you keep trying.  Be sure that he has very clean water and hope for the best.
