It will slow down Because the fish will able to relax and calm down in cooler water. It will be able to slow down the process of breathing. there is more air to breathe in cooler water so the fish will take longer breathes. me and my frineds did an activity about that and the answer is that it actually increases by a little

∙ 14y agoA goldfish's respiratory rate increases when the water temperature is raised because warm water contains lower dissolved oxygen levels, therefore a goldfish must increase its respiration to get the same amount as oxygen as if it were to be in cold water.

Why will a goldfish die in salt water according to osmosis?
Yes. Freshwater fish do not drink water, but instead absorb their water requirements through osmosis from their skin cells. Salt water has a lower concentration of water molecules than the water concentration inside the body of the goldfish, thus water moves via osmosis from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. In this case, water would move from the goldfish's body to the salt water, resulting in dehydration of the goldfish, and eventually, death.
Can goldfish and angelfish live together in the same tank?

Fishbowl goldfish wont go to top for air why?
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.

Does the temperature of a goldfish affect a goldfish respiration?
The temperature of the water can affect the amount of available oxygen for the fish. In a warmer temperature, the oxygen tends to be lower (and even more so if there is algae), thus their breathing rate tends to be higher. In cooler water, there is more oxygen than warmer, and for the most part, their breathing rate tends to be more shallow.
