View Full Version : Two or three fish?
I found out that the smaller goldfish is pushing the larger one around. Will
the situation change if I put one more goldfish in the tank? BTW, the tank
is 29G.
Thanks

dz, you probably have a male and a female. If you introduce another it may
changes, but not much
I doubt.
the bigger fish either has eggs or is sick.
EMERGENCY
1. check the water parameters: pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrates
2. do the fish physical
3. change some or all of the water, add 1 teaspoon salt per 5 gallons water
4. from the water parameters and physical decide on a course of action
5. if there is nothing specific, do the tub to tub method

Add to that
6. Keep the water temperature static!
