I bought four small goldfish, a blind one, a deformed one and two sick ones. I put them in a 30 gallon aquarium but they hated it. They would not swim a lot, nor play with the bubbles or care much for anything. Thinking something was wrong with the water I got it tested at a pet store but nothing was wrong with it. I bought a one gallon aquarium to put them in till I found the reason why they didn't like it but they seemed to love the one gallon aquarium. They swam around in it, swam through the bubbles and even started playing with the plants that are in it. The two sick ones even got healthier within one week. So I put them back in the 30 gallon tank again and once again they hated it. Both aquariums are located in the same area, both have the same water (which was checked at a pet store) both aquariums temp are the same so why do my goldfish like the small aquarium compared to the big one? They seem to have a lot of room in the one gallon aquarium but online it says its too small for 4 goldfish even though they are small fish. What do I do?
