White spots on your goldfish, often resembling grains of salt, are characteristic of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, commonly known as 'Ich' or white spot disease. This is a common parasitic infection in freshwater fish, often brought on by stress or poor water quality. It's highly contagious and can be fatal if not treated. You'll need to treat your tank with appropriate Ich medication available at pet stores, ensuring you follow the instructions carefully and monitor water parameters.
