My son won a goldfish at the fair last June. It's been by himself until about a week ago, we bought another goldfish at Wal-mart. The old goldfish is going nuts.....following this one around constantly nudging it in the back and side, and won't leave it alone! Why is that? Do I need to seperate them? Buy more fish? I'm thinking the new one is getting really stressed out by this! (I would!) HELP!

It is probably a territorial issue and the old fish is not used to sharing space with other fish. A larger tank might help, or more fish for the old fish to chase around so the new fish doesn't get all the grief foir being an invader.
the best thing to do if buy another goldfish and see what happens. this may work. or take one out for 15 sec and put it back in. hope this works. pete foyd
