Fish naturally loose their scales, but if your fish are loosing many scales at once, its not natural. Goldfish may loose their scales if they are stressed. If you get another fish, try medicating the tank with something like MelaFix for a while to prevent that from happening.
If your goldfish is all alone then you know it isn't from fighting or other fish. It is probably that he is growing and the scales will soon replace themselves.
no, because it is too small and it will die pretty soon
yes, they will eat them and become eye eating menaces. remove the goldfish to a safe location for extraction. Black Bear will meet you soon.
I have a 10gallon with a common and a shubunkin goldfish. They are both around 2.5 inches. I am soon upgrading to a 30 gallon so there will be enough room when they get bigger.
Absolutely. Get the dead one out of the tank or fishbowl as soon as possible.
Goldfish are not livebearers so they are never truly pregnant. If you think your goldfish is pregnant than she is just getting ready to spawn by becoming full of eggs. Unless there is a male goldfish present the eggs will be unfertilized and will not hatch into baby goldfish fry. Your female goldfish will soon lay her eggs, and if no further action is taken, she will then eat them. As for the small tank, I would really recommend moving her into a bigger one.
The goldfish's origin is China. It was first bred there as pets around 960 AD -1300 AD it was soon introduced to Japan by 1500 AD , there fancy varieties were developed. Goldfish then soon spread to other countries such as Europe, Austrailia, and North America.

you can get green plant weed which goldfish eat but get your goldfish food as soon as you can! Also you can try feeding your goldfish romaine lettuce, cucumbers, oranges, spinach, duckweed, bannana, watermelon, and cleaned chopped-up earthworms.
you can lose water.. which is heavy but as soon as ro rehydrate you gain the weight back.
They don't have sex. The female lays eggs and then the male will soon "fertilize" the eggs. Then, baby feesh! WOOPIE
Goldfish lay eggs which are fertilized and develop outside of their bodies so they are never really pregnant. If you mean that a goldfish is looking pregnant than it is either very sick or filling with eggs. She will soon lay her eggs and if no further action is taken she will then enjoy eating them.
