Hello fish people, I have a planted 55g tank, 2 HOB filters with biohome media and sponge pre-filters, a power head for aeration, 5 medium-sized comet goldfish. My water quality always tests great....I do weekly water changes.
My goldfish swim normally until I feed them varied foods. ( frozen brine shrimp, blood worms, bug bites, dried seaweed, sweet peas, etc) No floating or flake foods! After consuming the food, the fish will gulp constantly at the surface...one actually becomes buoyant. The same fish also enjoys 'swimming through the powerhead bubbles, gulping air'..strange!
By the next morning, the fish are perfectly normal , peacefully swimming through the water, rarely going to the surface! Are my fish just strange? Anyone else experience this? Anything I can do to stop my fish from gulping?
