Goldfish is a very common aquatic pet with a wide range of breeds. Whether at home or in the office, many people like to raise a few goldfishes, which can add a touch of vitality to the environment and also meet the needs of their appreciation. However, many friends will encounter a situation in the process of feeding goldfish, that is, the food that the goldfish has eaten and then spit out, what is the reason for this situation?

 

Reason one: There may be a problem with the digestive system of the goldfish, and there may also be a gastrointestinal disease. In this case, stop feeding the goldfish first and observe its activity closely. Once there are other abnormal conditions, then it is necessary to carry out reasonable diagnosis and treatment, and do not delay the treatment time of goldfish.

 

Reason two, the goldfish will spit out the food it eats. It may be that it is not hungry and its stomach is still very supportive. In this case, you can first take a closer look at the fish's belly if it is bulging and round. If it is, then you can temporarily stop feeding for a few meals. After the goldfish completely digests and breaks down the body, feed it new food.

 

Reason three, the goldfish spit out food, or it may be because it swallowed air bubbles while eating, making the stomach unable to hold the remaining food and had to spit it out. In this case, it is necessary to stop feeding first, and then closely observe the condition of the goldfish. As mentioned above, once an abnormal situation occurs, be sure to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise the goldfish may die.

 

Reason four: The goldfish spit out the food, maybe the food size is not suitable. The chunks of food are too large for the goldfish to eat properly. Then, before feeding, it is better for the breeder to make the food as small as possible, and then to feed the goldfish, so that the problem of vomiting by the goldfish can be avoided.
