Do goldfish mind dripping water?

I just bought a few goldfish at the pet store and put them in a tub outside with aquarium stones, a water lily that has been living outside for a few weeks (lots of bio stuff in the water that the fish seem to be eating), and some green oxygen weed from the same pet store.





The tub is sitting under a dripping tap right now. The tub fills up and overflows down into a gap in the concrete where some salamanders live (my cat sits staring at that spot all the time and occasionally brings a salamander home, so I assume they live there).





I piled up the weed under the tap so that the dripping noise isn't as conspicuous, but I'm wondering if it'll irritate the goldfish. I know tap water is chlorinated, but it's dripping slowly enough that I don't think it'll affect the water in the tub too much. But I don't want to drive the fish crazy with constant dripping. They seem to swim up to check it out every now and then, but I'm not sure if they like it or are annoyed by it. Anyone know?

no they aren't annoyed. but they might be annoyed at the CHLORINE! chlorine takes a while to leave water even at a slow drip.
Reply:i doubt it very much, i dont think they have the intellect to be annoyed. they have a six second memory so they might be constantly curious of the drips!
Reply:My nana has a pond, and the fish always seem happy as long as there's food.


Plus underwater, I think it's harder to here dripping.
Reply:im not sure but i would try blocking off the tap.
