In order to recognise a poorly fish, we must first know what a fish looks like
and how it behaves when healthy. We can only recognise the ‘abnormal’

discover that these small white spots are not a
sign of disease but are actually special
spawning pimples that cover certain parts of
male Goldfish at spawning time.
