My goldfish keep chasing each other and touching lips

[goldfish620]

My two goldfish are chasing each other around for fun no aggressiveness involved what should I do does this mean they are about to breed I am nervous a lot. They follow each other everyday every moment of the day!!!!

How large is your tank ?

On your other post you mentioned it's a ten gallon? This is not 'playing' nor is it 'breeding' behaviors. It's simply aggression from a severe lack of space and likely less than ideal water conditions. The best thing for them is an upgrade as soon as possible.

Orandas have one of the largest growth potentials for fancies. The world record holding fancy is an oranda named Bruce who measures over 18 inches. I would move them to atleast a 40-55g. Plastic tubs (50g) are under $20 at any large discount store and will work as an inexpensive tank in the interim if funds are tight. Please ask if you have questions!
