beat that fish’s a$$
separate them, most likely you have 2 males and one female and the female is being pushed around.
shoot it
thats the natural way of things, the third goldfish is the bitch for the the other two, thats jus the way it is bo yo
Don’t get involved in your children’s squabbles with their friends.
You’ll still be mad after they make up.
you have to separate them. i dont think there is anything more to it than that. i’ve had fish gang up on each other and there was nothing i could do when they ganged up on one of my pretty angel fish and tore it up to shreds. lol.
the one that they are beating on could be a female while the other 2 are males. the males could want to get the female so that there would be baby fishes. the males probably just want to mate. i had the same thing happen to me. i had 3 little neon fish and 2 of them kept on chasing one particular one. that one particular one ended up being pregnant.
Give him a knife.
Do you know that fish can’t deny it when they fart.
Sometimes fish can be territorial…. if that is the case you’ll need to separate them.
they cant quit if they keep fighting they will kill each other you will have to seporate them
How long have you had your fish and what size of tank are they in?
I does sound like you have 2 males and a female. I have 2 males and a female in my goldie tank and one of the males has his breeding stars on his gills and has been pushing the female about the tank. My fish started it after a water change. It could also be a territorial thing especially if you’ve recently added a new fish. I’ve had my 2 fantail goldfish for 3 yrs and got a redcap oranda a couple of weeks ago and the other two were bullying for about a day but they all get on now (thankfully). If this does continue, you’ll have to separate them as your fish could die from exhaustion or injury.
the only thing to do is separate them. Take one bully out or take the victim out. You could get a tank separator which does the job well.
