    to treat fish, is better do it in a bare tank with very simple filter system, cause medication can destroy your filtration BB .

    if only 2 small growth[no other disease], can suggest to "cut" it off and apply yellow powder. normally this growth[ big pimples] will not harm the fish. my friends used to have this goldfish with this growth.

    suggest you everyday do 50% WC and apply another dose for 3 straight days or until fish is recovered.

    Ah? cut it off? Does that mean it won't recover if we don't cut it off? I think the growth is pretty big. Can we just put the yellow powder ? Don't think she can manage the "cutting off" part.

    If we just tell the LFS owner "japanese yellow powder" they will know what it is?

    And then just mix the powder into the water for the goldfish?

    Thanks.
