Can a fish die if it has white spots?
a fish with white spotts that are all over the body and are not supposed to be there it usually means that the fish has ich and verry contagous illnes that occures in aquarium fish, i recomend that if you have any other fish in that tank that does not have these spots that you take them out and get medication for the infected fish. ( if not treated quickly the fish might die.)
To be honest it's not worth removing the fish go to your local aquarium store and ask for the best remedy for Ich aka Whitespot, it is a nasty disease but also easily treated, one of the best treatments i have found is waterlife's Protozin, however this can be hard on certain types of fish such as loaches if you have fish like this i recommend only a half does of that particualr medication however there are several different ones available
It means that the water isn't aerated well enough and the fish is trying to get more oxygen by sucking air down.
(edit)
This can also mean that the goldfish is begging for food. This is a learned bahaviour, and is more likely if you hand-feed your fish. Be very careful not to over-feed your goldfish.

7 to 10 days is the norm before they start to cannibalize

Be sure to read the instructions.

Angel fish (Pterophylum scalare) are one of the most tropical fish coming from the Amazon. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are cold water fish. They both need totally different condtions and water qualities. So the answer is they could live together provided the water is kept warm and pure enough for the Angelfish but they will not do well.

Does a goldfish have live fish birth?
Goldfish are egg-spawners. If you want to breed them, you need: * two aquariums--a 20-gallon spawning tank, and a 10-gallon grow-out tank. Neither one should have gravel or a filter in it. * a male and a female goldfish, both at least three years old * baby goldfish food Put about three inches of water in the grow-out tank. Put the adult goldfish in the spawning tank. When the goldfish are ready to spawn, the male will chase the female all over the tank. When she gets tired enough, she will scatter eggs all over the tank, and the male will spray his milt all over the tank. The milt will turn the water cloudy. Now for the fun part: you have to wait until the water clears, then scoop up all the eggs and put them in the other tank. Goldfish will eat their own eggs. Then cover the other tank, wait until they hatch, and start feeding the little fish.
Black Algae in a fish tank isn't actually algae at all. It is bacteria protein called cyanobacteria. If your asking how to rid your tank of this, the first thing you'll want to do is test your water for nitrates and phosphates. Generally this is a major factor in the growth of the bacteria. Scrub the glass, clean the decor, and stir the gravel. Remove as much as possible with a net. Next perform a 25-30% water change. This will help reduce the levels of nitrates and phosphates. Also, since this type of bacteria has to photosynthesize reducing the amount of time the light is on will be greatly beneficial.
