Goldfish gasping (breathing) at the surface indicates that the fish are short of oxygen in their water and it needs replacing. If your fish are in the middle area of the water columb it means they are breathing OK. I would advise you to get at least a 10 gallon tank if you wish to keep 1 goldfish sucessfully. The basic rules for keeping fish sucessfully are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (A goldfish is a 10 inch fish). :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week.. If you follow the above rules your fish will stand a chance of surviving. If you don't do the above and miss out on looking after the water quality,I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will live a shortened lifespan.

Do Goldfish Need An Airpump?
While it isn't required that goldfish have an air pump in their tank. It can help your tank life by providing valuable oxygen to the fish. This isn't specific to just goldfish, as all aquatic life can benefit from the presence of a air pump. If you notice your fish swimming with their lips on top of the water level most likely they are trying to get air. This is especially true for tanks that have canister or over flow filters where the water is pumped and filtered without making contact with air.
