    It sounds like your goldfish might be suffering from a phenomenon known as Melanophore Migration.  It is usually the result of some type of trauma such as low pH in the tank or high levels of ammonia.   The good news is that the black is likely a sign of healing and should be cleared up in 7 to 10 days.
