I'm sorry i don't know how to comment on your answers .
I have looked at my original fish and he ?? definately has those white pimple things on his gills . I've had him about 18mths and he's or its roughly 2 and half " long .
I now have a new question.
The fish he is chasing is slightly smaller in length but alot smaller in size.
If he is trying to breed what will happen and is the new one big enough or old enough to cope. The other one is a lot smaller and he isnt bothering that one so i dont think its a bulling issue of size. I hope you can follow this , i'm more confused now than before of what to do . But thankyou for those that answered my last post .

He has deinately calmed down towards her , but going crazy around the tank.
It's clear now that he's ready to mate, but i don't think she is big/old enough. thanks for all the advice, a lot makes good sense .

It sounds like your chaser turned out to be a boy! The fish he's chasing could be a female, or another male. In any case, he's not out to hurt the other fish.
If the one he's chasing is a female, if you have any plants in the tank, she might lay eggs. You might want to add a few plant if you don't have any to see - it will also give the "chasee" a place to hide to get some peace. If you want you can try to raise some of the fry if you get eggs. If not, you can just toss them. But your male might settle down if some eggs are laid.
Just be aware that if you do try to raise fry about how much room you might need for tanks and how much time as well. And what will you do with the babies as they grow?

White pimples? You mean he has come into maturity. Your little fish could be a female, however if she is smaller than the 2 1/2 inch gold fish he is just being frisky with her. She won't be able to produce eggs yet. He will chase her for a while it is natural for gold fish.
Even if it is a display for space, it will calm down soon.

human beings use to placed fish in waterstock tanks to keep the algae down. it really is helpful that you rescue this fish notwithstanding it has some important needs. definite, it really is going to stay for awhile in a bowl in case you do ordinary water variations. notwithstanding it truly needs a tank with a sturdy clear out device. Golds want a lot of oxygen...I consistently used more effective bubble wands and such plus a sturdy clear out.
