My goldfish 1 of 8 in the 10th gallon tank has sharp bumps under the scale. Is this furunculosis and if yes how it can be treated?

I'm not sure if that's what the fish has, but you shouldn't have eight goldfish in a ten gallon tank. Goldfish can live for a very long time and grow to enormous sizes, but you have to take proper care of them. It should be 30 gallons for the first fish and ten gallons for each additional, so 100 gallons in your case. Also, goldfish like to be in schools of three, so adding one more would be ideal.
Are the scales just protruding or are there definite bumps? Either way, you'll need to set up a hospital tank for the fish. Research the symptoms and medications and bring pictures of the fish to a pet store or aquarium where someone could properly diagnose it. Best of luck to you and your fish!

What do bay goldfish need to eat?
This info is from the internet: if you want to get some baby goldfish, the most fascinating way of obtaining them is of course to breed goldfish in your own aquarium or pond. A goldfish becomes sexually mature when it is around one year old, but will not reach their prime until two years later. It can be hard to distinguish a male goldfish from a female goldfish, but when they become mature the female will usually become a little plumper than the male. The male goldfish will develop small bumps on his head, and when the spawning period begins those bumps will be easier to notice since they will become white. Someone says they eat worms, but they don't so don't try it.
