Goldfish are like this. When they want more food, they scavenge for bits that can be hidden it the rocks. It seems like it wants to eat the rock but it is actually looking for extra food, but don't give them more food, because it is natural for them to do this.

What is a good bottom dweller for your goldfish tank?

I had an albino plecostomus hang out in the bottom of my goldfish tank. He thrived quite happily with my comet and fancy goldfish. The only thing you have to be careful about is the ammonia levels can't get too high. Adding an ammonia filter to your water filter can help reduce the levels, too. I also had to give him algae supplements every week or so because he kept eating all the algae that built up. If you don't mind another large fish to add to the tank, dojo fish are also good bottom feeders.
