I've always wondered whether goldfish are content alone or whether they
prefer to have other goldfish around. I'm trying to figure out how to
best house my shubunkins. Anybody know whether carp are shoaling?

Thanks.


When I keep them together they seem to spend a lot of time in close
proximity, so I'd guess they like company.

I think they feel safer in a group. Mine tend to do this at night or when
they feel threatened.
