hi all, I am wondering if anyone can confirm my suspicions about these spots? I believe the goldfish may have a fibroma and she’s behaving fine, however i’ve just noticed the shubunkin has a new spot that’s growing algae out of it - these are my clients fish so I only get to check up on them once a week.

thanks in advance!

Looks and sounds like a fungal infection, likely Saprolegnia (SAP). This is normally a result of poor water conditions.

Please test the water with liquid test kits, not strips as they are not reliable.

Post the results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and KH. That will give us an idea of what is going on with the pond.
