Goldfish help!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

ok i got a 20g tank and i got a 20-40 power filter

and a small goldfish

the filter keeps on pushing it away

what should i do

Answer 1

Give your fish a big lecture about not smimming towards the current.(Although you'll have to repeat it about every 6 seconds because they only have a memory of about 6 seconds.)

Answer 2

Can you control the flow of your filter?  Usually there is some sort of k**b or lever on the top where you can make the flow a little lower.

You could also try putting a taller ornament under the flow so the little guy can't get to that area.

Answer 3

Goldfish don't mind the current.  There's lots of room in a 20 gallon tank for it to get away from it if it wants too.  Mine actually seem to enjoy swimming in the current.

Answer 4

The fish probably enjoys it my goldfish used to actually run to the current and let it be pushed around and then go back in again.

Answer 5

you can always change the head from double to single because double creates a jet like bubbles it is very strong.

kOi keeper & goldfish keeper.

Answer 6

The current won't hurt him because he is in a big tank, and there are places to get away from the current. I bet he just enjoys the flow. Also, goldfish have a memory of 3 monthes, they have been taught tricks before, that is an only myth that there memory is 6 seconds.

Answer 7

Turn down the filter,or  let the goldfish get pushed away. The current shouldnt hurt the fish.

Answer 8

your gold fish should be fine if you can point the filter in to a rock or get a spray bar this will make the current less strong by evening out the flow so he wont get pushed around i have cory catfish and they love swimming in the flow get him a friend he would be very bored get him about 5 more friends he will be much happier!
