The white film you are seeing is an overproduction of the fish's slime coat due to a crash in pH or infestation of parasites. The bottom sitting is usually consistent with parasites or bacterial infections, but being the skin is milky parasites are definitely suspect. To treat, raise the tank's salt concentration to 0.3% and add an antiparasitic medication to the water.

What do a ryukin goldfish live in?

The same way you spawn any other goldfish.

Can calico ryukin goldfish could fit in 1.5 gallon tank?
Yes, but only for a very short time, for goldfish are known to grow rapidly.
Are ryukin goldfish all right on their own?
Yes, but it might be better for the fish to have a tank partner by its side. Make sure it is another Fancy Varitey of Goldfish!
What kinda fish would go well in a 10 gallon fresh water aquarium and would any of these fit together Calico Ryukin Goldfish guppy betta Shubunkin Goldfish neons and what others would fit with an?
Neon tetras, guppies, and bettas are warm water fish(they need a heater) and calico ryukins and shubunkins are cold water(don't need a heater) so none would really fit together except the warm waters. I have a shubunkin goldfish, common goldfish, and 2 dojo/weather loaches in a 29gal, but they used to be in a 10gal. I recommend another double tailed goldfish if you have the ryukin(single tailed will be faster and nip at the others fins and eat all of the food).
Can a red cap fish be in a tank with a ryukin goldfish?
Yes, for they are both Fancy Goldfish (It's bad to keep Comets with Fancy varities because most likely the comet will become stressed and die).
Can an oranda goldfish live in same tank with regular goldfish?
Yes, but your tank size needs to support it. If you mean that a regular goldfish is a long single-tail goldfish, then you need at least a 40 gallon tank just for the 2 fish due to the size potential of the common goldfish. If you mean a regular goldfish as in a round bodied fantail, or perhaps a ryukin, then you need at least a 30 gallon tank for the 2 fish.

How can you know whether the goldfish is pregnant?
Goldfish do not get pregnant, but rather they produce eggs. If there is no male around, most often the female will reabsorb the eggs and never actually release any.A female goldfish may get much rounder when full of eggs, but this can be difficult to tell if you have a Ryukin or a Fantail as their body shape is quite round.
