Goldfish may lose their scales because their living environment is crowded, and the friction between fish causes them to lose their scales. At this time, we should adopt the way of feeding in different tanks or changing to large tanks to reduce the breeding density. Or it could be a fight between the fish. At this time, the injured fish should be put into erythromycin solution for sterilization and disinfection. It may also be caused by bacteria such as Punctata Punctata. At this time, the fish can be washed with rivanol solution or given norfloxacin.
