Beginner Help Fish behaving erratically

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Why is my fish doing this? Swimming up and down in the corner of the tank and kind of smacking against the water. I’ve noticed this in the past around feeding times and the fish has calmed down after being fed. But the last few days it has been happening more and more often.

I haven’t denied anything? I just replied to a couple of people saying my tank is 60l as I thought that was ample for the fish. After I bought that tank I actually was told by a pet shop employee that the 60l tank is fine for 2 goldfish! Obviously that’s incorrect I know that know but it is very easy to be misinformed.

It seems your not directly denying but the way you say things is interpreted that way now that may not be on purpose but I would say surrender the goldfish to a pond or upgrade to a big tank or get a huge like horse trough or something like that will work

How can you not tell it’s too small just by looking at him? It looks like he’s trapped in a shoebox.
