Yes! Mine do it! I put plastic grates on the top with suction cups.my water is crystal clear.. I do water changes once a week. I have two huge air stones… only 2 of my 5 fish do it. I have a 75 gallon tank. I hand feed them rapashy food. They gulp air every time I clean the tank. I think they are looking for food because they were raised with floating food by the seller as babies.
I have the same problem with my 2 orandas. After every meal they gulp air for ages. I've have plenty of surface agitation and aeration and my parameters are fine yet it happens after every feed. I'm baffled by it
Hi JP, I'm convinced its just something wrong with the fish. Only happens to the same fish even if the water is perfect and only after feeding. Subscribe for more videos!
Mine do this too but after like an hour or so they go back to acting normal (stopped gulping air) I think it might be because the food causes a spike in ammonia or something? It only happens within the time range of feeding time so it’s weird but yeah logically it would be because of the spike in ammonia?
The same happens to my to my only fancy goldfish in a 30 gal run by a sponge filter, so I doubt it's lack of oxygen. I also tested the water and I had 0 ammonia, 0 no2 and 10 no3 so I can't understand why he does that.
ive had my first oranda goldfish for 8 days now and he does this too. its confusing, its a 40 gallon tank with 4 oversized sponge filters with air pump set on max. he is the only fish in there right now and the water quality is good so oxygenation should not be an issue. it is concerning because like why is he doing that? it makes me think there's an issue but I don't think there is, because he is otherwise super active and healthy. it hasn't caused any issues so im gonna try to not worry about it too much. maybe your/our fish are just kind of quirky?
@peterskoiandgoldfish8261 hey! My oranda got over this habit a long time ago and he's been thriving. It was definetely just a weird quirk he had for awhile. Also also could've been boredom or loneliess? No clue. He now has friend, who is a ranchu
It has lots of algae, so it's not because of ammonia or nitrates. But I don't see any air bubbles at the left half of aquarium, its lack of oxygen that causes gulping for air. I'd put some air stone to the left part of aquarium, throw in some snails to eat some algae, and get some live plants like pothos and peace lilly.
Hi Aditya, I believe it is just a habit that some goldfish have. Has not caused major issues as long as the goldfish spits out the air. Subscribe for more videos!
@@peterskoiandgoldfish8261 hi mam, appreciate the quick response. My goldfish just keeps floating because of this issue. I think that that this can further cause swim bladder issues. I think it can be gill issue but I am reluctant to put any medicine yet. I will observe her for another week .
@@adityathakare7997 Sounds like a good plan. If you aren't already, feed sinking food instead of floating food and maybe try soaking the food in water for a few minutes before feeding as well.
@@peterskoiandgoldfish8261 I checked yesterday and it came out fine. Not sure why are they doing it. Shall I change the water? It's only 3 days since I dechlorinated and moved the fish in it.
This is a problem of oxygen. They need a lot of oxygen , put a lot of plants ( the Egeria densa is the Best plant for gold fish) and change a lot of water. ;)
Hey Filo! I change the water frequently and I have a filter and two air pumps in the tank so I don't think its an water or oxygen problem. Also its only these 2 goldfish that behave this way so I think it has something to do with them individually since they only do it after they eat. Thanks for watching!
@@peterskoiandgoldfish8261 I saw your tank is covered so even if you have the air pump the oxygen still can’t reach the water you should open the top of the tank to exchange the air in and out.
@@meenagurjargur Hi Krishna, I have two airstones and a filter running on the tank so I think its a lot of aeration. Also, the other fish do not do this. Its only these two and only after they eat haha
even my 2 goldfish do that and i dont know that they need oxygen pump and they also do that in a bucket now they died now i have tank in there when i go to them they come up and do this but not too much they do 1 or 2 time i fell happy hope you remember me Faizan!
Did you raise those 2 goldfish or are they fairly new? If so, maybe the previous owner would feed them differently. 🤷 By the way, I have a Ranchu that looks exactly like yours! lol
Hey Janie! I've had these two for a while now. Check out my other videos for more on that ranchu! There was one I posted about it eating rocks haha. Thanks for watching!
@@peterskoiandgoldfish8261 sorry, I couldn't be much help! lol. I'll look for the video of the Ranchu eating the rocks. I love to watch videos of goldfish. I just love their personality.

@@mercedesjaay Is the fish ingesting the air and becoming floaty? Does the fish only do it right after eating?

No clue but these fish usually tend to live short lives. How is your oranda doing now?

Hi Huss. Check your water parameters and make sure there is plenty of oxygen in the water.
@@peterskoiandgoldfish8261 Thanks for helping, i added some real rocks instead of the fake ones and changed they’re water and they stopped!
@@h4s00n7 must have been the rocks
Did u get any conclusions on what's the issue . One of my oranda always does this.
