hi everybody. i recently purchased three 1-1.5" goldfish, and two of them keep following the third one and shoving their mouths into his sides (not gills) and butt. is there anything wrong with this? i put the third one into a 15 gallon container for now, but im a little worried as his fin tips have turned black.

i know this is the general freshwater section, but the coldwater section never responds to my questions.
 
This Is Urgent!
 
I would get him a 10 or 15g gallon tank to allow him to grow out a bit for a few months. Then when he's about 3" put him back with the othjers and see if size may have been the initial issue.
 
id rather not buy another fish tank, so i guess id keep him in the tub and put in a filter. i might realese him back in after the other fish forget about is weakness. goldfish aint that smart.
