It will slow down Because the fish will able to relax and calm down in cooler water. It will be able to slow down the process of breathing. there is more air to breathe in cooler water so the fish will take longer breathes. me and my frineds did an activity about that and the answer is that it actually increases by a little

Can goldfish and angelfish live together in the same tank?

Technically , both require different environments. Goldfish likes cold water and angelfish likes tropical. However, goldfish can survive in warm water so both can be kept, leaving one of them unhappy.


Why will a goldfish die in salt water according to osmosis?

Yes. Freshwater fish do not drink water, but instead absorb their water requirements through osmosis from their skin cells. Salt water has a lower concentration of water molecules than the water concentration inside the body of the goldfish, thus water moves via osmosis from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. In this case, water would move from the goldfish's body to the salt water, resulting in dehydration of the goldfish, and eventually, death.


What happens to water when it is warmed?

When water is warmed, its molecules gain energy and move faster, causing the water to expand and become less dense. This is why warm water rises in colder, denser water. Heating water can also lead to evaporation, where some of the water molecules break free from the liquid state and become a gas.


What plants do goldfish eat?

Goldfish primarily feed on a diet that consists of plants such as duckweed, water lettuce, water hyacinth, and elodea. They also enjoy vegetables like peas, zucchini, and lettuce. It is important to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for their health.


Why does cold water affect goldfish respiration?

Cold water affects goldfish respiration because it lowers their metabolic rate, leading to decreased oxygen consumption. This reduction in metabolic activity slows down their respiration rate as they require less oxygen to sustain their body functions in cold water. Additionally, cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen, making it easier for goldfish to extract oxygen from the water, further contributing to their decreased respiration rate.

How do goldfish make bubbles on the surface of the water?

Goldfish make bubbles on the surface of the water by releasing air from their swim bladders through their mouths. This process is called "gulp breathing."


Fishbowl goldfish wont go to top for air why?

Goldfish gasping (breathing) at the surface indicates that the fish are short of oxygen in their water and it needs replacing. If your fish are in the middle area of the water columb it means they are breathing OK. I would advise you to get at least a 10 gallon tank if you wish to keep 1 goldfish sucessfully. The basic rules for keeping fish sucessfully are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (A goldfish is a 10 inch fish). :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water changed every week.. If you follow the above rules your fish will stand a chance of surviving. If you don't do the above and miss out on looking after the water quality,I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick and will live a shortened lifespan.

Does the temperature of a goldfish affect a goldfish respiration?

The temperature of the water can affect the amount of available oxygen for the fish. In a warmer temperature, the oxygen tends to be lower (and even more so if there is algae), thus their breathing rate tends to be higher. In cooler water, there is more oxygen than warmer, and for the most part, their breathing rate tends to be more shallow.


Why does the temp not change as water is warmed up?

If water is warmed up, then that means that its temperature does change.
