Sent to Pet Experts September 10 05:59 PM

I have a beautiful black moor and a fancy gold with some platies (excuse misspelling) suddenly I noticed a whiteish cover over the moor's head.... a couple days later I noticed the gold very aggressive towards the moor, the moor began acting strange, sitting on the bridge, hiding behind a plant and then today I actually saw what looked like the gold nipping the moor on the fins. I have separated the two taking the moor out and putting him in a hospital fish bowl. I have treated him using Quick Cure, but he just isn't himself, he swims round the bowl but doesn't eat.   Is he really sick? Fin rot? Ick? Please advise I don't want to loose Inkie he is such a personable little guy.

Hi Customer (name blocked for privacy). Thank you for asking your question on Just Answer. The other experts and I are working on your answer. By the way, it would help us to know:

Tell me more about the white area. Does it look like a film or covering, look like salt specks, look like small fluffs of cotton? What size tank are the fish in and how many fish.

Filtration in the tank?

How often do you do a partial water change?

Thank you again for trusting us with your problem. Please reply as soon as possible so that we can finish answering your question.

Reply to Searcher2's Post: White did not look like specks just a soft white, which as of right now is gone from his face, but he does have a couple spots on his fins (which I am not sure are frayed from other goldie "biting" or not)and they have like a blue spotty coloring, there is a couple grainy like spots white on him. He was in a 10 gal tank with one other gold fish and 3 platties, very tiny. Yes the tank is filtered. I do a partial water change weekly, with PH check, etc.   Presently my little guy doesn't look like he is doing really well. He is slowing down tremendously and not breathing softly.
