Goldfish hiding near the pump may be caused by new fish not familiar with the environment. This situation will be better when the goldfish is familiar with the new environment. It may also be caused by poor water quality, no change of water for a long time, and too low dissolved oxygen in the water. The dissolved oxygen at the pump is relatively high, so it will be near the pump. At this time, the goldfish can resume its activities by changing the water in time. Another situation is that when a goldfish is sick, it is easy to find a place to hide. At this point, the goldfish needs to be treated.
1. if you are not familiar with the environment
, if you put the newly bought goldfish into the fish tank and hide near the pump, you don't have to worry about it at all. When you raise it normally, when the goldfish is slowly familiar with the new living environment, it will resume swimming freely without human intervention. Moreover, it is better not to have strong light near the fish tank, otherwise it is easy for goldfish to hide.
2. the water quality is too poor
to change for a long time, resulting in poor water quality and reduced dissolved oxygen in the water, which is not enough to support the normal breathing of goldfish. Goldfish will gather near the pump, because the current here is fast, resulting in higher dissolved oxygen in the water, so that goldfish can get more oxygen. This situation is often accompanied by the phenomenon of goldfish floating head. At this time, it is necessary to change water for the fish tank in time, improve the water quality, and develop the habit of changing water regularly to avoid similar situations happening again.
When a goldfish hides near a pump, accompanied by symptoms such as falling scales or congestion of its fins, it is likely that the goldfish is sick. At this time, it is necessary to treat the diseased fish separately and change the water for the fish tank. Treatment can be done by soaking in iodine-free saline or by adding 5 tablets of oxytetracycline to 100 kg of water. Wait until the sick fish has fully recovered before putting it back in the tank.
