[Ronald David Boulton]

One of my outside pond goldfish has a small white lump on its side. It doesn't seem to be in any distress.

Get a close look at it,could be several things. Parasite comes to mind.

Hi Ronald could you please take a clear photo of your goldfish so we can have a look at the white lump , from there we should be able to diagnose just what it may be.
Where in the UK do you hail from my friend we live in Plymouth Devon and have been koi keeping for 30 years this year .

Thanks, very difficult to get a photo as they disappear when I get near to the pond.

Do a Google search for pics of parasites and find the one that looks the most like what yiu see in yours. Post that pic.
