but it has mostly black fins and its golden

and this 3rd fish is acting very aggressive and bullying my other 2 fish, he's damaged the shunbukins tail alittle bit but he's swimming fine. ive isolated him from the rest of the fish but he's attacking the net alot.


EDIT: heres a photo, sorry for the quality the camera needs charging or something

another edit: he keeps pushing the black moor around while nibbling on the shunbunkin every now and then, he's abit calmer than yesterday but had to put him back in the net

err any suggestions then?

still got the aggressive fish in the net, and he's still trying to attack the fish etc.
 
my aggressive fish seems to have a red spot on his fin and sometimes swims verticaly. has he caught an infection?
 
got another problem now

the aggressive fancy goldfish seems to have a red spot on his fin on his back and he swims vertical.

he might have an infection or this bladder symdrome ive read about?
 
your main problem is that goldfish produce masses of waste so need lots of water and huge filtration to be kept healthy.

I used to keep 2 fancy goldfish in a 10gallon. they were constantly getting ill chasing each other and generally being miserable but then i bought a 260L tank with external filtration and they havent been ill once in over a year

basicly bigger tank and more filtration is your answer
 
i agree that you need a bigger tank and filtration, also i was told you cant keep fantails and normal gloldfish together.
the spots look like white spot, you can buy anti white spot treatment from your pet shop, i had that problem months ago and treated the tank once and it went away
