Why does my goldfish keep

Question

my goldfish keeps on pooping and going after

my other goldfishes tail

i had them for like a week now

Answer 1

Gold fish have no stomachs, so what is fed comes out with very little digested.  This is normal for goldfish.  Their wastes are not like other fish.  Increase your food to twice a day smaller amounts.  This will help.

Answer 2

My goldfish are like that too. I think they're just playing around and chasing the other goldfish to "protect" their food. Anyway, once a day for food should be fine. They will p**p a lot because...they're just like that. You have to clean the tank up once in a while but I don't think you would have to do it every week. Anyway, good luck!

Answer 3

gold fish willl p**p alot if they eat alot and if they dont eay alot they will still p**p alot and it they to breed with other goldfish

Answer 4

Goldfish chase each other around the tank as play and also as practicing their protection (that's like asking why dogs chase each other around a yard).  Also, if you have a fantail or another fancy tailed goldfish, chances are the other one will go after it as a form of aggression (one of my comets had a fan tail)

Goldfish will p**p constantly - don't worry about it - if he doesn't p**p then you'd have a problem

Answer 5

They're probably still getting to know everyone and this is a sign of stress. Otherwise someting's wrong with them. But I doubt very highly.

I think that because I have an aggressive Guppy! And they're not aggressive fish!
