∙ 14y agoThis really depends on the size of your tank. For a small 20 gallon tank, two goldfish are a little crowded in there in terms of living space. You should do a 20% water change every week or a 50% water change every 2 weeks. larger tanks need only a 10%-15% water change every week or so. It is recommended that you have 20 gallons for the first fish and 10 gallons for every additional fish. If you want to take your goldfish out of your tank, Please do not use a net. it would be best if you could leave them in there, but if you must take them out, then use your bare hands like the pros do. this is an almost perfectly safe way to take out your fish, even safer than using a net! a net is dangerous for fish because it can scrape away some of the fish's body slime, which prevents the fish from getting diseases like Ick and velvet. I have seen fish die of ick (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis), and it is very, very sad and painful.

∙ 13y agoYou should not wash out your goldfish. He/She would probably not appreciate it. However, your goldfish bowl should be washed out whenever the sides start to feel like it has a film. Partial water changes are generally done about once a week.

∙ 13y agoDepending on how big the bowl is you should change the water every 2-3 days. The best thing to do would be to buy a 10 gallon fish tank so you wouldn't need to change the water as often. You can get them for around $10.00.

Small bowl about 1 gallon you have 2 small goldfish in itrecently your goldfish diedi dont really know howi been taking care of the really wellplz advice?
My advice is to get an actual fish tank and not just a bowl. Fish bowls are cruel and don't have near enough space for 2 goldfish to live in

No bettas live for 2 years. goldfish live for long as 25 yaers if conditions are clean.
When do goldfish die?
Usually when they are about 2-3 years old. Goldfish can also die if you don't feed them enough, or too much. When goldfish are not kept in a clean habitat, they can get sick and die. Make sure to clean your goldfish tank at least once a week. Remember, goldfish mainly die from aging
How do you keep goldfish healthy in a bowl?
Goldfish need more space than what people may believe; one goldfish needs a 20 gallon tank, and you need an additional 10 gallons per fish after (so 2 goldfish in 30 gallons)This is not just about their potential size (which is big), but the amount of waste they produce. The old adage of inches of fish per gallon is completely incorrect when it comes to goldfish due to being high waste producers.
How offen do you clean a goldfish bowl?
Goldfish NEED 20 gallons for the first fish and an additional 10 gallons per additional goldfish. So for 3 goldfish you NEED a 40 gallon aquarium with A LOT of filtration. Your 3 goldfish will be dead soon due to both ammonia poisoning and lack of oxygen. Since goldfish have primitive gills, they require A LOT of dissolved oxygen in the water. Hence why they do better in unheated aquariums because cold water holds more dissolved oxygen then warm water does. You need to clean that bowl like 3 times a day. It is cruelty to keep them in there. Goldfish are America's number 1 mistreated and abused pet because people cram them in bowls. When properly cared for goldfish have lifespans of 30 yrs and grow 8-24 inches depending on variety. I have personally seen 14 inch black moors and have a picture of a 15 inch red oranda.
What kind of bowl do you keep a goldfish in?
Goldfish do not belong in bowls. One goldfish needs at minimum 20 gallons on it's own, plus 10 gallons for each for every additional goldfish (30 gallons for 2 goldfish).It's not just due to their size potential, which is big, but because they are such messy fish that produce high amounts of waste
Is it better to have 2 Goldfish?
One goldfish requires at minimum 20 gallons on it's own plus 10 gallons for each additional goldfish (30 gallons for 2 goldfish). It's not only because of how big they can grow, but because they are very messy fish & produce a high amount of waste
Can a guppie live with a goldfish?
A guppie is a tropical fish and should be kept in an aquarium with other tropical fish, a goldfish is kept in a bowl or tank in cold water - the 2 cannot be kept together because of the different in the temperature of the water
Do goldfish really grow as large as their bowl allows them to?
There's a bit of myth around this. Goldfish won't grow properly in a bowl and are likely to die before they're even sexually mature (they are not considered mature until they are over 2 years old). In a small unfiltered bowl water quality can turn toxic within 12 hours, that toxic water will stunt the fish, not tank or bowl size! If you had Goldfish in a small tank or bowl but managed to miraculously keep water quality healthy, they would continue to grow until they could no longer turn around, and then become so stressed they get sick, and then they would die from that instead. A fish in a bowl is a lose lose situation for that poor creature! Goldfish need massive over filtered tanks.
How many goldfish should you keep in a fish bowl?
It depends how big your bowl is if it is below 5 gallons then you should put one. But if it is 1 or 2 gallons then you will have to move it into a 5 gallon tank or bowl at the least.
Can you put 2 male goldfish in a small bowl?
