Hi,
I have 6 goldfish (the conventional orange colour) in my garden pond which I bought in May this year as juveniles. In the 7 months since then they've grown and filled out a lot. On 4th December I noticed that the largest and fattest fish has got a thick white ring around each of its eyes and I don't know what should be done about this. Is it some kind of fungus? The fish's eyes are normal, it's just the white rings around them that are strange! Please get back to me as soon as possible about this if you can give me any expert advice!
Regards,
Happy_Cat |

Does sound like a fungal growth, and your fish should be at the bottom of your pond by now I would have thought for the winter  ____________ Natalie and Co xxx
