Red dots or spots under the scales is usually an indication of a bacterial infection. You should isolate your goldfish in a separate tank and treat it with an antibacteria medication that is easily absorbed through the skin. You can also feed it antibiotic fish food if your goldfish is still eating. Increase aeration and surface agitation to help your fish recover. Don't treat it in your main tank since some medication can kill the bio filter.

I did a 50% water change not too long ago and I tested the water last night and it was all safe. 0 amnonia 0 nitrate 5 nitrite.
The spots are on her belly and caudal fins. They are faint red dots not on the surface of her scales but under her scales.
I'm assuming that you got the nitrate/nitrite readings the wrong way round... have a look at this link and see if you can match-up the symptons ( Link is not visible to guests. Please register to view.)

what is the cause of the red spots on the body and red streaks on the tail? as one of my new ryukins got this yesterday and died later that day before I could do anything about it, I did a 50% water change aswell as soon as I noticed it when I woke up as he was eating well last night, sad really as he didint even get to go in to his new tank when the shubunkins move out in a few days when my parents friend pond is ready.

Red streaks in the fins often indicates NITRITE poisoning the other ryukin in the tank has not showed any red spots our streaks, wouldnt it affect both fish then? as my other fish is fine and all lonley now gonna get him a new friend whe the shubunkins get put in the pond

as soon as I saw this I changed the 50% but later in the night he/she died, as it didint have and conditions in the morning as it was not eating and i knew sumic was wrong but I had to go out and when i got in later it had streaks and died 2 hours later, but the other fish looks fine eating swimming about looking for food in the gravel and will be getting put in the 60l when the pond is ready for the shubunkins as its getting cleaned as its full of frogs and muck.
