My 14 year old pond fish is eating well and seems like a normal fish. However, it has a tumor on its eye. In the past day or two the tumor got a white spot on it. I noticed the eye problem a few weeks ago. Last week it looked like another tumor on its side, which appears to have erupted from its subdermal layer rather than being a pecked spot from a bird or another fish. The other 20 fish are normal, not a mark on them. Pond is 640 gallons, filter cleaned weekly, well established (14 year old) pond.

I'm no fish doctor.
I have one goldfish that has had bumps (or tumors) on her side for many years. She looks different though. Hers are the same color as the rest if her. Not white.
Are you sure those are not puncture wounds, another type of wound or some other thing like a fungus?
Hopefully, the experts will chime in soon.
