Fish Gold
Information about caring for fish gold: despite common depiction of goldfish swimming in bowls, they should not be kept in such cramped containers. The limited space gives stress to your goldfish and eventually stunts their growth.
Goldfish are freshwater fish whose ancestors come from Asia. They live in cold water and are one of the hardiest of fish which make them easy to look after, and a good first pet for young children to learn about caring for a pet.
The name goldfish is misleading as not all fish of that breed are gold in color. Some goldfish have patches of black or silver. To prevent predators fishing into your tank, protect the opening with a secure cover. Maintain the cleanliness using a filtration system and an air pump. It is customary to line the bottom of your tank with gravel or glass marbles.
Check with your pet store to make sure your tap water is safe for use in the tank. Most tap water has a neutral pH and gold fish thrive in neutral pH levels (available gold fish information indicates they thrive specifically between 7.2 to 7.6 pH).
As the size of your tank matters, you need to buy a tank that your fish can grow into. For every inch of goldfish length, you need 30 square inches of surface area to keep your fish happy. It is a common practice to transfer fish longer than 5 inches to a pond.
Gold fish produce a lot of waste, and waste leads to rising ammonia levels. Ammonia is toxic to gold fish and must be kept to a minimum. Encourage the development of good bacteria within your tank and invest in a sufficient filtration system.
Unfortunately, this first experience for many with fish in general tends to be a poor one. Setting up a goldfish in a 1-gallon bowl is a recipe for disaster. As I mentioned, they eat a lot.
Indoors, goldfish may be housed in rectangular aquariums placed away from direct sunlight. Do not bring fish home until the aquarium is readied. Lay a 3 – 5 cm thick layer of clean, small earth coloured gravel on the tank floor.
The last point I want to bring up is feeding and nutrition. Goldfish in nature are opportunists. Many thousands of years have developed this vegetation loving fish into an opportunistic feeder. Our gold fish always did that and lasted 5 years don’t worry about it. Really what else has he to do? AquariumHobbyist.com has a full line of species forums where you can discuss fish species with other owners, and hobbyists.
Goldfish need food specifically prepared for them. Spread a pinch of food over the surface of the water 2- 4 times a day which the fish should finish within 2 – 3 minutes. If too much is given, the water will become cloudy, and bacterial levels will rise.
Out of all the hundreds of thousands of fancy goldfish imported into the United States each year, very few can pass our high standards to qualify as “Show Quality” goldfish.
Blue-green algae on the tank floor and on plant leaves indicates alkaline water and unhealthy aquarium conditions. Green algae growing on the glass, is a sign of healthy water, and fish enjoy nibbling it. You can remove it from the front to see your fish, but leave it on the back.
All of our goldfish are hand picked for us, so we can insure you that your imported selections are the very finest Goldfish available. Our prices range from $39.99 to hundreds of dollars per fish. Keep watching our Goldfish Showroom for all our NEW arrivals.
You’ll discover all types of exciting tips. From identifying the gender of your Goldfish to learning what the best population of your tank would be simple as that!

The article on antibiotics are very good.
It is important to follow the rule of only feeding as much food as your goldfish can can eat in a few minutes. They are opportunistic eaters and will keep eating until there is no more food. Over feeding can cause your goldfish to become constipated or worse, the stomach of the goldfish can burst. A constipated goldfish will swim awkwardly and sometime float sideways or upside down. The symptoms resembles that of swim bladder but the cure for this can be as easy as adding some green peas to your goldfish’s diet. Greens in the diet will help keep the digestive tract of a goldfish healthy.
