Digging Fish

I have a goldfish that keeps sticking/pointing it's head and face at the gravel. It says there untill you make it move or something scares it. Help..

Answers:

Goldfish love to redecorate. This is one of the biggest fears with goldies because they sometimes swallow the gravel. This is why some goldy keepers opt for large river rocks for their substrate. Have you looked closely enough to see if it's picking up pieces of gravel and placing them back down? What's it doing while it's face down in the gravel. You haven't said whether it's acting or looking sick. So, if it is just digging, that's what goldies do. Just keep an eye out from time to time to see if he's carrying them and/or possibly swallowing the gravel. You may need to change out your substrate if you think he may be swallowing the gravel.


He's looking for food don't trip.
He's just trying to bury his head in the sand and get away from reality...and you. Don't interrupt his fantasies. Let him act like an ostrich.
well what kind of fish is it?umm when u feed it the food drops all the why down to the gravel so it its the food.maybe i am not sure my fish does that to
