hi i'm new to all of this and i need some advice,
I have 3 beautiful goldfish 2 of which i got last week and one i got yesterday.
goldielocks, dougal and the new member finn,

dougal is a bit of a bully and keeps ramming the other 2 lads especially at feeding time, dougal and finn sem to be eating alright but not goldielocks and when he does go for food dougal attacks him i'm a bit worried what can i do????

BTW this is a great site

Hi and welcome.

First we are going to need a bit more information.

What size tank are they in?
What types of gf are these?
What are their sizes?

ermm ok

well they're tank is 2 ft wide and 1 and 1/2 ft tall

dougal is roughly 3" head to tail (long tail)

Goldielocks is roughly same size

and finn is a pearlscale and quite small

Welcome! Buckle your seat belts you are getting ready to learn a bunch about goldies! This is a great site to learn everything you need to know to help your goldies get big & be healthy! (Isn't that EVERYONE's goal!!!)

Gee, it sounds like your tank may only be 5 gallons if i am figuring right. So you might want to start saving for a bigger tank (Goldies ALWAYS need a bigger tank )Garage sales & flea markets can be great places to look!

On this site you will learn how to make proper water changes, water tests, & etc!!

Again welcome!

ok i'm really worried now been keeping my eye on goldielocks and he's not been eating he's not even opening his mouth what can i do? do i bring him to a vet or something?
please help

Hi dougal and welcome! The closest that I can figure out your tank to be is maybe a 20gal.? 24 inches wide-16 inches tall (glass part)
What are you feeding them,how much,how often? Is this the only time that dougal is bothering the other fish?

dougal is fine now he got a taste of his own medicine but i'm really worried about the other fish goldielocks he isn't opening his mouth and i've noticed that he is not eating his food because he's not opening his mouth. i feed them flakes he had been eating all week just in the last say 3 days that i've noticed him not eating his food really need advice on what i can do

and thanks for the welcome guy >:D<
