WhyYour goldfish takes air from the top of the tank?
This is common when there is a lack of Oxygen in the water or a surfeit of poisons caused by either a poorly running filter, overcrowding, or lack of water changes. Fish only gasp at the surface when they are in trouble. First thing to do is a large water change followed by checking out the filter medium to make sure it is not clogged, then count the inches of fish in the tank and compare to the holding capacity. The rule is 1 inch of fish need 1 gallon of water. (2.5cm of fish needs 4.25ltrs water). If you are overstocked then some fish need to be rehoused.
