Goldfish hiding

Goldfish hiding indicates the fish is upset or not feeling well. Ammonia poisoning is the number one killer of fish. Learn everything you can about the nitrogen cycle, and how it works. White patches or burns may appear on fish that later turn black as they’re healing. Test ammonia levels

Check to see if your fish is swollen or bloated, as this indicates the fish may have kidney issues. Raised scales often accompany infection; a sign your fish is too warm due to fever or too high of water temperature. Lowering water temperatures will benefit

Red patches on the body may indicate the fish is septic, or suffering from blood poisoning
