[AquaticLife] Goldfish disease continued
Busymom,
You mention “black goldfish turning gray” but you first said they were simple feeder goldfish. Usually, feeder goldfish are simple gold common goldfish babies. If you had a black one, which is very possible due to all of the mixed up genetics in goldfish due to inter-breeding of them to get the fancy traits. Even the fancy Black Moor goldfish will often turn gray and eventually gold over time except in the rare case where they have really good genetics.
You also mention that the gray is slightly raised past the scales so I’m not sure if it’s just coloration changing or if it could be a fungus. But usually, a fungus is clear that it’s a furry/fuzzy fungus and not just a color change.
Take a better look, even netting the fish to get a better look if necessary so we will know whether we are dealing with a fungus or simply a very common color changing that happens with “colored” goldfish.
