A. If it is an inexpensive fish you can just throw it away. B. If you want, you can sell it. But be prepared to see thought bubbles of customers showing a smelly fish... it is possible but it can take a while. C. You can buy medicine. But make sure you only bother to do this if you are certain you need this fish, and/or it will make you a profit. Medicine is not cheap, especially for cheap and nasty $4 fish. D. Don't let your fish get sick at all! You can buy special plants, foods, snails, aeration pumps, filters and there are magic fish that help prevent sickness. It is worth buying them all in the long run. You can have a maximum of 21 fish per tank, but the more fish, the more likely sickness will become. Regularly trim down your numbers. If the fish has fungus, or the green stuff on its body, buy the pink bottle. If the sickness is white, it is ick, and you need to buy the yellow bottle. Happy fish keeping!

They can. Any animal can carry bacteria, and infect other animals with it.

The appearance of a white spot on a goldfish's head is typically caused by a parasitic infection known as ich, or white spot disease. This is a common condition in aquarium fish and is characterized by small white spots on the fish's body and fins. It is important to treat ich promptly to prevent further spread and potential harm to the fish.
