My goldfish needs help

Question

My goldfish looks like he is eating water. Like when he is eating flakes only he looks like hes sucking in as much water as he can through his mouth. I dont know if its always been that way but he just looks like hes eating water and I have no clue if thats normal breathing or not. One fish that we have had for 2 years just died the other day and I have put a parasite waffer in and an ammonia reducer in. Please help.

Answer 1

hes fine, hes just taking in alot oxygen,

i would suggest getting an airpump..

go to your local fishstore and they'll help you

Answer 2

you're probably overfeeding him if hes stretching his mouth out. or you can get an air pump for him to breath in.

Answer 3

dont worry. mine does too and has an air pump!

Answer 4

I think thats normal. But if you are really worried, try to clean out the cage more often or something. I think your goldfish is simply drinking water. My fish does the same thing and he's fine.
