Could someone out there please possibly try and identify what is wrong with my Shubunkin?
I noticed an orange spot appearing earlier on this year.
It is now progressing to a small lump on his side.
There are no other fish in the tank, he is the only one.
I have attached some photos of the problem.
Many Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Goldfish can get growths of different types, often they are benign and cause no serious issues if it stays a small.

Hello and welcome!

It looks like carp pox, a type of virus. It’s a waxy looking bump. Not harmful to the fish, but can be contagious.

Some of my fish get different looking bump, lumps. I have just left them alone as it seems whatever they are they mostly don't bother them. Survival of the fittest!
