Gulp Fishing
February 28th, 2011
Sorry, I know there are loads of fish q's on here but....why does one of my fish gulp at the surface?
I have two goldfish, both 10 months old, both look nice and healthy and I keep them in a medium BioOrb - I do regular water changes and change the filter when needed.
1 of my fish is much bigger then the other and seems very happy swimming about, but the other is much smaller and spends about 2/3s of his time at the surface like he's gulping for air, other then this he looks in good health.
I got paranoid that there could be a lack of air so changed the air stone and water - but still he's doing it. I started feeding them more veggies, instead of just dry fish food, as I thought this would help - they loved the veggies but the little one is still always at the surface. He's been doing this for about a month now and I just think that it doesn't look a very fun life for him when the other one is swimming about care free where as he spends his life gulping the bubbles at the surface!
Why is one fish doing this when the the bigger fish is never at the surface?!
BiOrb tanks do not have a good air supply for the fish at all, and your tank is way too small for two goldfish.
