What are your water parameters? Please state exact ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH. We need those to determine what went wrong. If possible, please use API liquid drops to test for the parameters.

Any full tank shots? Abrasive decorations are often responsible for injuries and goldfish are very prone to accidents undoubtedly. Have you noticed any other injuries aside from the one situated on the dorsal area? Any other unusual symptoms you observed?

All water params are normal. i tested them. I think he got cut with this plastic plant i have... it has pretty sharp edges, so i took it out. it is really starting to look better. I am keeping my fingers crossed! i am doing daily 25% water changes. i am hoping he gets better!!!
No i havent seen anything else out of the normal with him. I <3 him! he is the best fishy ever :)
