Goldfish fungus

Question
Hi Beth,
I have had 3 gold fish for a yaer and a half now and have relocated them to a new house about 2 months ago. Over the last week the 2 gold ones have developed white dots around their hed and the black one has grown white fungus around its head. Is this some kind of disease or should I investigate the water?

Answer
jim,

what is happening is that they are stressed from moving and they have an illness that is very easy to cure called ICH and I would recommend going to a pet store and buying ich medicine for them. Just look in the fish department or ask for help for looking for getting rid of ich.

thanks.
bethe.
