When goldfish swim up to
glass of
tank, does it mean they are smart enough to recognize people?Goldfish sure are smart not in
sense as dogs are, but they are smart. They will swim up to meet you probably because they think you are going to feed them. They might not be able to differentiate between one person and
other but they do know that
people they live with are
caregivers. Know that they depend on you and hence love you.
Why is a new goldfish not moving in its bowl, when he is very much alive? Well first of all, he probably hates being in a bowl. Goldfish do not like bowls even though humans think
bowls are cute. Put him in a tank with a compatible companion goldfish. Meanwhile watch
fish. Is he coming up to
top of
tank when you feed him? If he is then, he’s probably just getting used to
new bowl. If it looks like he has difficulty swimming and that he keeps sinking to
bottom he might have a swim bladder disorder caused by too much dry food and bad water.
Why is a goldfish swimming to
top every once in a while? Goldfish keep swimming to
surface of
tank because that’s where they get their oxygen. Always make sure that there is enough empty space at
top. Do not fill up
tank to
brim, as leaving space will give them
required oxygen. If your fish are normally active, swimming and chasing each other a round, don’t worry if they swim to
top every once in a while.
Why do goldfish always seem starving?
That’s because they are greedy! Don’t get tempted enough to feed them whenever they ask for it because overfeeding will cause them more harm. Besides, goldfish can never starve to death; they are always nibbling away at something or
other.
