Chances are it will be genetic and that you won't be able to do anything to correct it; however I'm sure you'll be able to help it along.

It could well be genetic like dipsy said, but just to rule other possibilities out...

How did you set the tank up ready for the new addition?

What are your current tank readings?

How big is the tank and how big is the fish?

Goldfish are VERY inbred nowadays. They tend to be alot less hardy than in previous generations, meaning that even though previous generations could handle less than ideal conditions, that isn't to say the newer ones can.

I'm not saying that I'm presuming your conditions aren't ideal... I'm just saying that it's the reason I'm asking about water params and tank size etc. Just so it can be ruled out.
