No they do not; having gravel or not is really the choice of the fish keeper as far as how they want the tank to look. You can certainly leave it bare bottomed as many goldfish keepers do to give the fish more swimming room and easier time cleaning the debris from the bottom of the tank each week.

Hi i have a 9 leter tank and 2 small goldfish do i need a filter?

Yes, goldfish are very messy. Goldfish need 10 gallons per fish, you actually need a 20 gallon tank or about a 70 liter tank for 2 goldfish. But the small tank will do while they are small, you will need to eventually get a larger tank.


Do goldfish need air pumps What other type of fish needs an air pump that can be in a 5 gallon tank?

A goldfish does not need an airpump, it needs 3 stage filtration and good water movement from something such as a box filter and/or power heads. A goldfish, however, is not suited for a 5 gallon tank. 10 gallons per goldfish is the recommended minimum, as they grow very large and require more oxygen than almost any other fish. I would recommend something smaller such as rosy minnows, guppies, or if you get a heater, small tropical fish like tetras. ALL fish however, need filtration, not just an air pump.


Goldfish tank 1 point 5 gall the water is 74 Fahrenheit what can you do to make it colder for your goldfish?

Do Goldfish Need An Airpump?

While it isn't required that goldfish have an air pump in their tank. It can help your tank life by providing valuable oxygen to the fish. This isn't specific to just goldfish, as all aquatic life can benefit from the presence of a air pump. If you notice your fish swimming with their lips on top of the water level most likely they are trying to get air. This is especially true for tanks that have canister or over flow filters where the water is pumped and filtered without making contact with air.


What are the differences between goldfish and turtles in terms of their care requirements and habitat preferences?

Goldfish and turtles have different care requirements and habitat preferences. Goldfish need a tank with clean water and a filter, while turtles need a tank with both water and a dry area for basking. Goldfish prefer cooler water temperatures, while turtles need a warmer environment. Additionally, goldfish are primarily herbivores, while turtles are omnivores and require a varied diet.
