Expert Answer

Sudden temperature swings are the main cause of goldfish colds. In early spring, late autumn, and winter, adding water can sharply change temperature and damage the fish’s nerves and function.

Careless mixing of new and old water during changes also chills the fish. Keep the tank temperature suitable and stable to lower the risk.
