are my goldfish playing or fighting i know it sounds daft but i do not know the signs
i have been on other topics and getting help and learning new things in my tank i have goldfish four of about 3inches each 2 black moors some fancies some subinkins i did read that my goldfish might bully my other fish (i did not know this as i would not of brought them together) but for the past half a hour constantley the goldfish are fighting each other not the other fish but each other i think it is figthing or could it be playing they are chaseing each other round the tank none stop they seem to me picking on one goldfish in paticular i noticed this morning this fish is looking fat (if that means anything) they all seem to be getting on fine until now what could it be just playing

The goldfish will probably bully the fancy goldfish. The fancy goldfish are more fragile.

hi
thank you but it is not the fancy goldfish they ( the four goldfish) are doing it to each other first it was one on one now it is the four of them
they was all getting on fine but for the past hour now this is what is happing the only thing i have changed today is i feed them bloodworm pellets but i know that it is not that should i take the larger goldfish out
thanks

What size tank are they in? Can you tell which are males, by the white spots on their gills at all? If not that's okay.

Depending on tank size and when you introduced them all to each other this could cause some "fighting" problems.
