How come goldfish die easily?
Goldfish only die easily when they are not properly cared for.One goldfish needs a 20 gallon aquarium on it's own, and you need an additional 10 gallons for every additional goldfish (so if you have 3 goldfish, you need a 40 gallon aquarium at minimum).While this might seem excessive, it's really not. Not only can goldfish grow very large, but they are extremely high waste producers, and as such, when overstocked in a tank that is just too small, and without a filter along with weekly water changes, the toxins build up quickly and kill the fish.
