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.

What does it mean when your goldfish has red scales?

It means your goldfish has a type of disease called herpes, and no, not the type you're thinking of. This is a type of herpes known only to goldfish. They get it when they have sex with a rock in their fish bowl. You should get your goldfish checked for herpes right away. You don't have to go to a vet though, just suck on it's fins and it should be fine. If it tastes like salt, then they're fine. But if it tastes like vinegar, your goldfish has herpes. Hope this information helped.

How do goldfish get food?

In aquariums, they constantly skim the water surface and suck rocks to find bits of food that they missed when they were fed. In the wild, they typically nip on plants and eat insects. Goldfish are known to think that everything is food. Their lives are an endless search of food and they never get tired of food. A healthy goldfish can go for days without food.
