to eat it. the reason? I do no know
Edit:
Possibly in order to defend themselves. Normally it's the other way around. If the fry are small enough, goldfish will eat them. Either that, or the babies are naturally aggressive towards the bigger goldfish.

∙ 14y agoAt a rough guess it is probably hungry. Those people who advise feeing Goldfish once a day do not know what they are talking about and are mis-informed. Young, growing Goldfish should be fed small amounts of food several times daily. When feeding fish add a small amount at a time and watch that the fish eats all the food. Each time all the food is eaten, add a little bit more. Do this for about 15 mins and no longer. Any left over food must be syphoned out of the tank to prevent it going bad and poisoning the water.

∙ 14y agoIt doesn't want to eat your other goldfish. It may well want to kill the other fish though if your tank is overstocked. Under those (overstocked) conditions the fish is simply practicing what every other creature practices and that is 'survival of the fittest'. To avoid this problem happening, there are some basic rules for keeping fish successfully. Those rules are. ":- 1 inch of fish must have at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. :- Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week." A single Goldfish grows to around 10 inches and so it needs at least 10 gallons of water and for the long term should be kept below 70F.
