My Goldfish Looks A Little Bored.......What Can I Do?

[LadyVenom]

Hi!
I know goldfish can't get technically "bored" but mine needs some sort of interaction in the tank to keep her occupied. I've had her for 4 years and she does not do well with other fish. She's quite large (about 4 or 5 inches) and she lives alone in a 20 gallon aquarium. Besides plants & other fish what types of things can I put in the aquarium to make her happier. I tried a tunnel but she won't go in it....

That's one of the curses w/ golds: they just don't do a whole lot except foul the place. LOL!

I wouldn't add any other fish because they shouldn't live with anything except other golds, and 1 in a 20g is not really adequate. 1 gold should have at minimum a 30g, and serious goldfish fanciers keep 2 in a 55g, and that's it.

So, if you don't have one already, I've read stories where people have added things like bubble wands to the tank, and the fish play in the bubbles.
