Is there something wrong with my fish or my pump?

[laur29 0]

Hi everyone, I've been caring for common goldfish for about 3 years. I currently have 2 new ones that I brought 4 days ago. They seem very happy in their new home, but they keep putting their heads into the part of the pump the gives out the clean water, then the pump makes some sort of vibrating noise while their heads are in there. I don't know if this will harm them or not. Someone please help!

IDK ...do you have any clearer pics?

I can't tell from the picture, but maybe you could over it with a piece of netting and use a rubber band to hold it in place

Looks like an internal filter of some kind

if the fish are wanting to seek out the 'clean water', then perhaps there are greater issues that you may not be aware of. we're happy to help. please answer all the questions below so that we can gain a better understanding of the environment and your fish's health. clearer pictures or a video or both is super important.
