View Full Version : Newbie Warning: inconsistent behavior between goldfish

In the last couple of days I've noticed a change in the behavior of my goldfish, but it is very inconsistent. (These are the 2 telescope orandas temporarily stuck in a 5G tank.) The slightly larger one seems to be following and perhaps even harassing the other one at times. The other will actually swim in circles trying to get away from it. Then the problem goes away for hours. Is this because of the small size of the tank, and therefore hostility? Or could it be related to mating in some way?

Tank is way too small for even one of these fish. They are probably stressed.

WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyy to small a tank. 20g for 1 goldfish, and 10 gallons each after that. You would need a 30g tank for those guys.
