Why does my one goldfish always follow the other?

I thought it was a sign of mating but there is no chasing or any signs. He even sleeps on top of him and goes where ever he goes, or doesnt eat unless

I thought it was a sign of mating but there is no chasing or any signs. He even sleeps on top of him and goes where ever he goes, or doesn't eat unless he does or try and take his food. I can tell the other one doesn't mind at all but just curious if they are mating or just really enjoy each other's company:)

or:If your goldfish are chasing each other around the tank, this is sometimes the lead up to mating and generally not cause for concern. However, if your tank is overcrowded or your fish are in competition over food, your goldfish may become stressed and chase each other off in competition for resources


or:The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is that the goldfish might be blind and is depending on the other one.
