Ive noticed some red coloured...

Question
I've noticed some red coloured spot about the size of 1~2mm appearing on the head of my Ranchu(Goldfish) recently. Please advise what could be the cause and what's the cure?


Answer
Hi Gavin,
 Hmm... that is very hard to say but it sounds like either somebody else bit him or he ran into something sharp (maybe a rock or something like that?).  In either case, provided it doesn't start growing fungus, you are best to let it heal itself.  If it starts growing fungus then you may need to treat the water.  I use Paragon II  to kill fungus.
