Question
Hi there, i'm not sure if i can explain this properly without it sounding weird but i'll try, we have had 2 goldfish in a tank for around 12 years now, in the last few days we have noticed that one of them is kind of chasing the other one around the tank and every time it stops it looks like it is "bullying" it, if it had teeth i would say it was biting it, it also seems to be aiming for the backside of it all the time, which is rather strange!  Have you ever heard of this before between fish, I would be grateful if you could answer my query.

Thank You
Lisa Gaffney

Answer
Yes it is a form of fish bullying and many fish do it, I suggest you move one of the fish to a different tank as one of them is being bullied, perhaps after a few weeks of distance from each other you can add them back together and they may leave each other alone.
