If your fish don't eat it in a matter of 1 hour remove it from the tank.
First, leave the bag with the fish in it floating at the top of the tank. Leave it there for thirty minutes for the goldfish to get used to the water temperature, then you can put it in the tank.
Floating Roof Tank
6 hours
Dead or dying
They will be fine on community flakes or pellets.
a week because the fish can die if you don't leave it long enough
Goldfish do not need their tank light on for more than 6 hours. Unless you have a lot of live plants in your tank, leaving the light on for a long time will result in an increase in algae in your tank. If you begin to see an algae bloom, then you're best to leave the light off for several days.
It is possible to leave the pump in the tank as long as it is not plugged so that gas can flow through it. If you cannot suck through the old pump then it either has to be removed or A new line put in the tank.
depends how long it takes if short leave them in a bowl with warm water longer i suggest the sink or if big enough leave it out
hop is short for hopper which is the the clip or tank where the pellets are held.
yes i leave the lip on the lid on the tank because it will jump out \
Use common sense. Add a few and watch if the fish eats them. Once the first few are gone you could add a few more and continue adding and watching for about 5 minutes. Never leave any uneaten pellets in the tank they will eventually poison the fishes water.
