Raised Scales 911 indicate fever or too warm of water
Symptoms: raised scales; pine coning; lifted scales
Caused by too warm of water or fever. Goldfish raised their scales in an effort to cool their body temperature
If your water temperature has higher than the comfort zone (64f to 74f) Goldfish are cold blooded and cannot
tolerate high temperatures for long
Lower water temps to 64f by chilling tank water in the fridge and or the freezer
Pour all around slowly; refill and repeat
Freeze (smooth) stones (appropriately sized) and place them in the fish house periodically
If indoors, set up a fan so that it hits the fish house and skims the surface
Fish house should be open so the surface is exposed to fresh air
If the temperatures have been in the comfort zone, you fish has a fever caused by infection
