One of my goldfish has a fungus on it's tail. It it white and cottany looking, like the end of a q-tip, but smaller. I bought some medication and set up my 10 gallon tank. Now I can't catch it. I have spent hours walking around my pond with a net hoping it would get used to the net, putting the net in the water with food just inside the net, (over fed - my amonia went up to .25 ml, ugh), getting into the pond (which is 4 feet deep) . My husband tried, very roughly, and now it is is missing scales on its back. It's one of the shy fish and won't eat out of my hand so I am having a hard time getting it close.
Any suggestions?? I am sure I could catch it with a major water drain, but I don't want to do that as the pond has finally cycled and is clear. I don't want this fish to die, it's my favorite (of course, they are all my favorite).
