 Gold fish are pretty tough.
HI,
I had one get a lesion like that from a anchor worm, there may be one buried in that mass, We used to take common house hold iodine and remove the fish gently and paint the lesion with iodine and quickly return it to the water , Kills the anchor worm and sterilzes the lesion and the little bit of iodine dosen't seem to bother the fish.
Ask a local LPS that carries 200.oo koi what they would do..
Doug
never do this near the gills cause iodine burns tissue making less gas permable suffication the fish
pretty good info to follow>>>> Buy Fish Medication for Treating Diseases, Including Ick, in Pet Fish.
and even better DX you fish before you treat. THE GOLDFISH DOCTOR - How to diagnose, treat, and cure sick Goldfish
