HELP! My fish has something visibly wrong with it!!

If your fish has numerous small white bumps all over it, it probably has Ich, or white spot disease. See http://www.petfish.net/kb/entry/12/163/
NOTE: In goldfish, small tubercles can form on the head and gill plates. Do not be alarmed, this simply means that it is ready to breed.

If your fish seems to have a grayish fuzz over him and is really lazy, specifically bettas, it probably has Velvet
See http://www.petfish.net/kb/entry/12/171/

If your fish is growing some sort of cottony substance out of any part of his body, it probably has Fungus.
