Goldfish

plastic plants are not harmful to your goldfish aquarium.

To urinate, if you mean the urinary bladder. If you mean the swim bladder, it is to be able to change its depth in the water. It has a way to vent air from the gills to the swim bladder, and from the swim bladder to the digestive tract. So the fish would inflate the bladder to be able to rise and deflate the bladder to go lower.

Small community fish, 6 gallon tank is not much room for fish to move around once you include gravel, plants and other decorations, so you don't want any large fish. Platies, neon, black or glow-lite tetras. Standard rule of thumb is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water.

Goldfish like to be between 50F and 65F most of the time. During breeding season they spawn once the temperature gets around 68F to 70F. Over 75F they get uncomfortable and start to stress.

yes, you can bring a goldfish back to life if you rub jelly all over it and then sprinkle some sugar over it. This will then recall its sweet tooth and make it want to eat itself. Congratulations, your goldfish has been brought back to life.

They flick around the tank fast and move fast.

No. But if it is shedding for some strange reason, that means it has a body slime fungus disease.

Betta fish are pretty versatile. They could be in a cold water tank (not below 70 degrees) or in a warmer tank (upper 70's lower 80's) just, don't put them in cold then suddenly warm and vice versa, or, they'll die of shock. Also, they could be in a still water bowl or in a tank with bubbles. Although a betta can survive in a small bowl, a container of at least 2 gallons is preferable (a person could live in a closet, but would he want to??). Male bettas are "fin nippers" and so if placed in a community tank, avoid fish with long fins, like mollies or guppies. You must have at least 1 gallon of water per inch of fish, and provide plenty of hiding places.

Yes. Goldfish have been known to eat other goldfish that are small enough to fit in their mouth.

The suggested water space for goldfish is 20 gallons. You may have to separate them if they fight. The more goldfish you have in one bowl or tank, the quicker it will become dirty and it may require a change of water. Larger tanks should have a cleaning system, and possibly some snails or other way to keep algae off the glass.

Probably its water is rotten and putrid. Please do a water change ASAP and then use the following info. The fundamental rules for keeping any kind of fish are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. (more is much better) :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter (it neutralises ammonia) :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water to be replaced every week. (Keeps excess nitrate levels low) If you keep to the above rules your fish may stand a chance of survival. If you don't keep them I can guarantee that you will constantly have problems with your fishes health.

It depends on the size of the fish tank, the type of fish you keep, the filtration that you use on your tank, and whether you are using a bucket method, or have a gravel vacuum that attaches to a faucet

Since goldfish is a smaller version of a carp, the first recorded versions are as far back as the Jin Dynasty (265-420). They were introduced to Europe around 1620, and North America around 1850.

They swim sideways and have a lighter color. They start to shed too (get flakey)

The goldfish may be hungry or it is sick

It is true that the goldfish may be sick, but I'm not so sure if it's because it's hungry, but you never know. When my goldfish did that, it had no apetite, despite me trying to feed it peas (because they say peas sometimes cure constipation and swim bladder infections...you can try that on your fish). He died the next morning. I was really sad. So definitely for me, if your gold fish lies at the bottom of a tank, it means there's something wrong with it. I advise that you check the water quality with a local petstore or do an imediate water change. A strong water current may be the cause too.

Give your fish 5 to 10 minutes to eat, then remove all uneaten food with a net

Goldfish die in cold water because they are not used to the water tempurture. But if you put the fish in a bag and set the bagin the cold water the water in the bag and in the tank will be come the same tempurture.

Koi have barbels on their bottom lips (whisker-like projections) and goldfish do not

It doesn't matter what tank they are in, it is the food you feed the fish.

Simply put, they will die. Goldfish are coldwater fish and if their water gets too warm, their metabolism speeds up. Their bodies then demand more oxygen for them to survive. The warmer water is, the less oxygen it can contain, so coldwater fish simple die from lack of oxygen in warm water.

Goldfish can eat cooked de-shelled peas, cooked & finely chopped green beans, lightly cooked spinach, raw romaine lettuce on a veggie clip, raw zucchini (but not the skin), and they even like peeled, de-seeded & finely chopped orange every now & then.

Hi,

The Fighter fish (Siamese Fighting fish) always likes to stay alone and if some other fishes are added it will start attack or feel depressed which affects its health.

But zebra fish is a good choice to keep with fighter fish as it swims so fast fighter fish cant reach it at any moment.

Gold fish - is a wrong choice as it has flowing fins which makes fighter fish to attack it willingly...

No! they swim around! they are too dumb to exercise
