Hi,

Firstly, is there a faq? - I hope I'm not asking questions that get
asked all the time.

what are the goldfish doing when they suck up a piece of gravel and
then spit it out?

Looking for food.

is it usual for goldfish behaviour to change when you add another fish
to the mix?

Yes

is fishkeeping addictive? I'm getting a bit worried!

Yes. Welcome to the insanity.

thank you!
I'm starting to wonder where it will all lead. also how much of the
house I could sensibly devote to aquaria once I've had a little more
practice!

thanks for the answers,
