The only time a goldfish is eaten by another goldfish is when the parents breed and they have eggs.The eggs hatch then the parents eat them because they mistake them for lava or something.if ur fully grown gold fish is eating another fully grown golfish then its not a goldfish at all!!!!!!!!CHECK FOR THE BREED in other cases.
it is to get the food before it all gets eaten and also survive on its own without getting eaten by other animals
Yes! Goldfish are not canabilistic and will not actively hunt and consume other goldfish that are smaller than them. Unless thay are like goldfish fry in which case they will absoloutely be eaten. But i doubt you would have bought goldfish fry so you should be just fine!
goldfish have a protective slime coat to keep them from getting sick. It's likely that the goldfish find it tasty. If this occurs often, you can buy a slime coat solution that encourages regrowth of it.
Goldfish and shrimp are not compatible in a freshwater aquarium. Goldfish are known to eat shrimp, so keeping them together may result in the shrimp being eaten. It is recommended to keep goldfish with other fish species that are similar in size and temperament.
Yes.
I am sure the meaning is quite literal. They are goldfish that eat other goldfish.
Shubunkins are goldfish, so therefore mixing goldfish with goldfish is usually not a problem. However, if the other goldfish are fancy then mixing them together would not be recommended.
yes
The best and only good tank mate for fancy goldfish, are other fancy goldfish.
It depends, if the goldfish are all males (or females) no, but if not of course they can mate.
Other goldfish, preferably This will ensure that the goldfish will not be injured by other tankmates and also ensures that the other tankmate's gills are not damaged by the large amounts of toxic wastes (ammonia) that the goldfish produces daily.
a goldfish is a feeder fish. I kind of disagree with the answer above. Yes, goldfish CAN be feeder fish, but they aren't necessarily feeder fish. Feeder fish are really fish that are rather small and are fed to other animals, and that are for some reason thought as not being as precious as other "pet" fish. So a feeder fish and a pet fish are two different kinds of fish, really. Not all goldfish are feeder fish. There are expensive goldfish, more than 10 dollars per fish! Then there are those goldfish breeded to be eaten that are sold as 75 cents per fish. So there are "pet" goldfish and "feeder" goldfish. So, a goldfish is not necessarily a feeder fish.
