Goldfish are very hardy fish and can survive a wide range of water conditions. It wouldn't surprise me if they were the last fish to die after a major tank/water problem.
I had several small tadpoles in a tank- each less than 1/2 ich long. I added 2 goldfish who promptly ate all the tadpoles. One goldfish died, the other thrived. I suspect the one goldfish died from overeating but I can't rule out parasites, bacteria or other problems from the tadpoles although I would have expected the other to get ill as well. I guess the one certain thing is that if you like the tadpoles, don't add goldfish. S.
I think you should get another fish because i have heard that they are alot like people and if your friend died than you would want anohter one RIGHT????? soo get that little fishy a new best friend
You cant. Goldfish need much bigger tanks. 20-30 gallons. I bought 2 goldfish when I was new to aquarium hobby and put them in a 5 Gallon tank. The first one died in just one and a half day. The other one died just hours after the first one :( So if I were you, I would get a bigger tank.
it couold have been or as goldfish have no memory it is likely it either had a problem of its own or had got used to having another goldfish to bump into that it didnt realise it wasnt there.
Most household goldfish from pet stores are fairly strong and the majority of their deaths are caused by the owner. Here's a list of causes of goldfish deaths... 1. Untreated tank water. Goldfish can only survive in water that has been treated for chlorine and is at a suitable temperature. 2. Lack of filtration. Goldfish can eventually be poisoned by their own waste, so filters and bacteria that grow naturally in the tank helps break down toxins. 3. Starvation. Goldfish have been known to trap each other and sometimes steal each other's food up to the point of starvation. Though rarely, owners can neglect to feed their fish until they die. This does not happen often as many types of goldfish can survive for over a week without food. 4. Ich and other parasite infections. If water conditions are not ideal, the slime coat of the goldfish can be compromised. This can lead to sicknesses such as fin rot, ich, etc. 5. Old age. Goldfish rarely live out their entire time of 6-10 years in a tank, but it happens. At that point they eventually die of old age.
If your goldfish died of starvation, what do you expect someone to say? Well done?
Well sometimes they can like love each other and have eggs. Sometimes they fight because they never want to be friends and they fight over goldfish food to.Or if they get along well they could be mates. And when a male goldfish bites the female well my one died.
Almost every shallow-sea animal would suffer. Most would die too, but other, more hardy animals would be able to evolve quick enough to survive.
if they didn't not enough would survive into adulthood and the species would have died out.
A lot of pet owners often find themselves more attached to one pet than other pets that they have. This could be why you cried when your goldfish died and not when your dog died.
it died
Your goldfish almost certainly died because you did not cycle the tank. They were not poisoned by potassium chloride but by ammonia, their own waste.
