Yes, being brown in color does not mean a fish is unhealthy. Goldfish that are brown in color are referred to as "chocolate". These chocolate fish are relatively rare; you are lucky to have one.
yes, goldfish love duckweed! I wouldn't make it their primary food, but its a good snack, and healthy for them. It's a good supplement to high quality goldfish food.
Goldfish stool can be a variety of colors and sizes. Healthy goldfish stool will be full/long and usually a brown color. Unhealthy goldfish stool may be clear, white, or red- which is an immediate sign that your fish is sick. Also, a lack of stool can indicate a health problem such as constipation. To keep your fish's digestive health and stool normal, try feeding the fish peas once or twice a week.
i just got a goldfish from my friend and its a year old ..it looks light brown and big eyed .
Give it a good home, feed it, and change its water
No you should not treat an infected goldfish with healthy ones. The infected fish should be separated until it is healthy again and the remaining fish should be checked regally. Any medication you give an infected fish can harm any healthy fish.
If you have one goldfish you say 'I have one goldfish' If you have ten, you also say 'I have ten goldfish'. You never add an 'S' to the end
Goldfish are available in more colors than just gold. In fact, there are goldfish that are colored yellow, red, bronze, blue and even black! What's more, some goldfish have a mixture of colors in their scales, with varying shades, hues, or colored shapes.
Stop doing a handstand. If your goldfish is floating, it will float to the top, not the bottom, therefore, you must be upside down!
A one human year old goldfish, is eighteen goldfish years old.
Yes, goldfish are very social and love to be with other goldfish. As long as one is not small enough to fit into the other one's mouth (goldfish will also eat just about anything), they will be fine. Goldfish are typically not aggressive unless it's a male chasing a female for spawning purposes. A word of caution: Goldfish create LOTS of waste so you don't want to get more than your tank can handle else you will not be enjoying your goldies, you will be doing water changes trying to keep them healthy. A good rule of thumb for goldies is 20 gallons per fish, to give them room to grow in good quality water.
They should do, but they can be a little less healthy, as they aren't bred to last that long. That being said, the world record for the world's biggest goldfish came from a fish bait shop.
Depending on what your sick goldfish has, it will either be specific to that fish, which you should place in a separate tank to treat, or it's something that will spread to other fish in your tank, in which case you will need to treat them all.
