I have a question regarding goldfish behavior. Back in May I put about
a dozon goldfish in my pond (small pond, about 15'x8'x2' deep) I took
them out and put them in a 30 gallon tank in my house for the winter,
they seem to love the aerator (Swimming up and down in the bubbles the
they freak out and fly around the tank (flipping out of the water etc)

My question is...
Is this normal?

If your water quality is okay and your filter is mature, they'll settle
down. Sometimes going from a pond to an open sided glass aquarium is pretty
freaking. Why most of us humans close drapes at night. ;-) ~ jan
