Goldfish may appear to "play dead" as a response to stress or environmental changes, such as fluctuations in water quality or temperature. This behavior can also be a defense mechanism against predators, mimicking a state of death to avoid being eaten. Additionally, goldfish may become lethargic and float or rest at the bottom of the tank if they are unwell or experiencing discomfort. It's important for owners to monitor their fish's environment and health to ensure they are thriving.
