One of my gold fish, is suddenly being shy and hiding behind some of the ornaments. I also noticed that shes not eating as much(or at all). She is no excited anymore. I just am not sure what to do, if you have any answers please let me know!

I wouldnt worry about it to much. She's probably just having an off day. If she doesnt eat in a couple of days I would call a vet and see what they think could be wrong. Hope that helps

Do 1/2 tank water change.... Cool water. But dont shock the fish. Goldfish are usually cold water fish. Try to to scare of shine to much light in the tank..
Have you added any new fish into the tank? Is that when you noticed it? If so, the fish is in shock.

You may have the temperature of the water too warm. The water may be too high in nitrates. Do a Partial Water Change with water in the 60-65 degree range, and see if they perk up. If so, you may need to reduce the temp and keep the water cleaner.
Goldfish are better off with slightly colder water than tropicals.

hi, have you done a water change recently, also check that your goldfish is not getting bullied, if everthing is okay in that area,maybe put her in another tank maybe she is sick, wait for developments, you dont want your others to fall sick, by the way how mant do you have and what size tank, maybe over crowded , i fish per 10 gallons, x

Try callin' your pet store and tell them what's goin' on.
Either:
A) She's sick
or
B) She's getting picked on by other fish and she's to the point to where she don't want to eat any more 'cause they may be fighting her when you feed them.

In my experiences with goldfish, they are hard to keep alive. I say it is a little sick and you will see it floating in a few days.

i think your goldfish isnt eating because you probobly fed him to much wich makes him rely fat a bloated out so try feeding him later ok .
