GOLDEN FISH MENACE IN AMERICA

  • In the wild, goldfish can reproduce quickly and become a dominant species. They feed by digging around at the bottom of the lake, disrupting plant life and stirring up sediment into the water. Goldfish-infested lakes can go from having clear water to having green water, reported CNN.
  • Currently, 49 states in the U.S. have reported goldfish invasions, per CNN. Alaska is the only state to have no invasive goldfish since they eradicated wild goldfish in 2019
  • Why does my goldfish make noises?
    Goldfish do not make noise to get attention but they will come to the surface of the water when you walk up to the tank. Goldfish and other fish will learn that when you come it means food is on its way. Goldfish are bottom feeders so they will move pebbles and small rocks to find food.


  • How can you tell if your goldfish is unhappy?
    Symptoms: You should observe your fish often for any of these signs of stress.
    1. Gasping at the Surface: If a fish is gasping his mouth at the surface, this is a sign of stress brought on by poor water conditions, usually a lack of oxygen.
    2. Appetite: If a fish is stressed, oftentimes he will not eat.
