    Elderly goldfish
    Hi I have a 4yr old goldfish and am having a few problems with it and wondered if you could help. It looks like its body is swelling like its scales are coming off. It also has a problem with its eyes like the outer layer of its eye is coming off. I have 3 other fish in the tank with it.
