My new little goldfish often swim along the top of the water gulping at the
surface. Is this normal behavior, or do they need more food, or more oxygen?
Any ideas?Thanks.

I've heard many people say that Goldfish are gulpers by trade, but it
wouldn't hurt to test your water to validate the quality and maybe toss an
airstone in to see if that changes behaviour.

if you are using floating flake food there might be food residue floating on surface
fish go after.
