you must separate them, they will kill the female. some people use a chopstick to
tap the aggressive fish and stop them. it could also be the chased fish is weak too.
do the physical and check for mushy belly which could be infected eggs. how old is
the fish? Ingrid

Hi Group,

I have three ryukin goldfish, and two of them are constantly
aggressively chasing the third one, which I just bought. I assume
that this is breeding behavior, but I'm concerned because it really
looks like the chased fish is going to be injured or killed, and if
nothing else, it seems quite miserable. Is the solution to isolate
the chased fish for a while, or something else? Thanks in advance for
any guidance.
