Weird behavior coming from my two Comet goldfish.
Just for reference: I am positive that they are male and female as I have had them for 3 years and Snapper, who i suspect as the male, is much bigger than Moki, the female.
Today I came into my room to find Snapper following Moki around the tank (which is 40 litres by the way) unusually as well, Snapper was like sticking to her side, and some of Moki's scales had been scraped as a result of previous chasing and part of her tail bloodshot.
Moki is clearly distressed.
I just fed them incase they were hungry, and Snapper stopped chasing Moki for a bit.
Now Moki is swimming away from Snapper very fast and hiding from him, and Snapper is acting slightly aggressive. I have heard about males chasing females around tanks, but not to such an aggressive extent..
Any help immediately would be fantastic! I really would like to know what is going on as I am deeply confused and concerned.
