The goldfish may be hungry or it is sick

It is true that the goldfish may be sick, but I'm not so sure if it's because it's hungry, but you never know. When my goldfish did that, it had no apetite, despite me trying to feed it peas (because they say peas sometimes cure constipation and swim bladder infections...you can try that on your fish). He died the next morning. I was really sad. So definitely for me, if your gold fish lies at the bottom of a tank, it means there's something wrong with it. I advise that you check the water quality with a local petstore or do an imediate water change. A strong water current may be the cause too.

What happens if goldfish food sits in the bottom of a tank?

If that happens, it's not a good thing. That means the goldfish are being overfed and they can't finish eating it all.( 2x a day finishing the food within 2 or 3 minutes) Worse, it will ruin the water quality by a lot, so it will become really filthy and hard to look at the goldfish(s). Hope this helped! :)


Why does your common goldfish keep nipping at your tank snail?

Does your snail have algae on it? Goldfish will eat anything that "grows" in the tank. They will eat turtle droppings, water scumm, algae, anything! That is why they are called bottom feeders.
