Goldfishes breath through their gills. When the gill filaments is clogged with parisites, the goldfish cannot breath properly and thus is trying to breath through it's mouth...thats why the mouth keep on opening and hardly shut. Your goldfish is sick and suggest take all of them out and treat them.

Same analogy using air con....

Filter is choked with dirts so aircon cant function efficiently(little airflow thr' filter as it is choked with dirts) and aircon eventually breaks down.

Hi kitsilano and chtan23,

Seems like it wan to close but cannot close. I really dun know why. Check its mouth but no gravel stuck.

If there is parisites, what medicine can i put into the water to treat it?
