OK this one has me a little stumped so I'm hoping one of you guys can shed some light on this for me.
One of my goldfish started looking a little red around it's backside (after a recent water change that's the only thing i can put it down to) anyway, I thought i'd keep an eye on it.
today it looks much worse, almost as if its butt has been closed over by some kind of wound.
I'm really not sure what to do, the fish seems totally fine, active, eating etc..apart from the red butt it seems totally normal.
I have noticed one of the other goldfishes chasing it a bit...but i dont think this sore is anything to do with mating!
I want to fix whatever the problem is before it gets any worse, but couldn't find anything in my fish books about this kind of problem. Any ideas on what i should do? Is it worth seperating it from the other fish?
Thanks in advance
