Answer
Hi Claire, have you noticed any physical abnormalities with your goldfish such as a distended stomach, red gills, etc. Your goldfish could be suffering from an infection, virus or unstable water chemistry. Do you check the ammonia, ph nitrite nitrate hardness levels lately or regularly. How often do you clean your aquarium. All of these factors can and do play a vital role in the health of your aquarium and the fish that live in it. Let me know so I can help you more. Good luck
