You could call a vets to look at him. They might be able to tell me than we can, sorry.

I agree, it looks like it needs specialist treatment.......

Vets are open for the welfare of animals (including pet fish) during the current restrictions.

Reading through the posts I think the original poster may not be able to afford a vet right now. Especially if it is an extra cost at the moment (which I do not know if this is the case).

It’s a combination of things, but yes affordability is one element. We live in a very rural area with one vet, which I’m unsure if they have any experience if treating goldfish. I looked online and I can’t see any recommended fish vets in our whole county. Combine that with having an 18month old and a husband who is high risk and it’s quite the challenge to see how I’m going to get there. I’ll keep trying to work it out though. Thanks.
