Their not supppose too. Most Coy fishes get along with their own family types from Gold fish to tropical yearlings. If you have a Gold Fish that wants to eat another fish have it checked out to make sure it doesn;t have the Pirhanna breed in it...lol just kidding. you shouldn;t have a problem, but fish are replaceable.

Goldfish are herbivores. Never heard of them eating other fish. As for the person who said she had 2 goldfish and 1 was gone in the morning, did you check all around to see if 1 had jumped out? Do you have a cat? Did someone play a trick on you?

Yes. If another shows any type of weakness at all, it will become a meal for the healthy ones. And they don't always wait until the other one is completely dead, either. It's just nature's way. You've heard the phrase, "Only the strong survive." It's true, especially in the animal world.

Yes. Goldfish tend to pick on and eat sick and dying fish. I see it often.
