What causes goldfish bubbles to form in their aquarium?
Goldfish bubbles, also known as air bubbles or oxygen bubbles, form in their aquarium due to a process called "gulping." Goldfish gulp air at the water's surface, which gets trapped in their digestive system and is released as bubbles when they swim. This behavior helps goldfish regulate their buoyancy and maintain proper oxygen levels in their bodies.
