Hi guys i posted here a week or two ago with white lumps on my gold fish (had 3 deaths), All my fish were up and about today so i could get a good look at them 2 or 3 of them have these white lumps they are milky white 2 or 3 mil in size there on the tips of fins around the gills forgot to take pics :blink: will try to get some pics over the next week, will it do them any harm if i treat them for fungus?

Can you get photos of the fish? If the white spots are on the gill covers, that may just be males (males get white spots on the gills). If the white spots are all over, what it is depends on how the spots look. It's easiest for me to tell from a photo. Descriptions can be hard. Just last week, I had a lady telling me all about her "turkeys." I finally got photos of them, and they're guinea fowl!

Fungal medications can be nasty. I would only use those if you're sure it's fungus. Fungus is usually fuzzy. Are the white spots fuzzy? What is the pond temperature now? You don't want to treat with certain medications when it's cold.

I wish I had more useful information.

I will try to get some photos of the spots asap, I wouldn't say these spots were fuzzy more like little blobs, I hope my fish don't turn out to be guinea fowl lol
