I seem to have a problem with one of my three funfair goldfish that never die and seemingly want to last forever! (misses got these, i'm itching to get back into tropicals but they just won't kick the bucket)
Anyway, as the decades are rolling by, no amount of deliberate not changing water, forgetting to feed them etc is working.
So i'm under strict orders to get on t'internet and find out what this little white lump is on the top of the orange one's eyelid?
It's been there for a week or so and looks, hopefully, quite fatal! Any ideas what it is?

Hard to diagnose from that, but possible fungus or white spot....

Won't be white spot unless you've introduced something recently.

Probably a fungus as the fish is aging

Nothing introduced to tank lately, and yep, they're definetly aging! So just one of those general fungus water treatments will do, nothing more specific? Ok, thanks!

Ignore it, move on, sadly :-)
