Well i have a little ten month old turtle and i just got a goldfish the other day they're separate at the moment but can i put them together and sorry but can you only answer if you know the truth?

Not if it's an aggressive species. Snapping turtles, musk turtles, mud turtles, or soft-shelled turtles are angry, mean little buggers generally and their diet is certainly going to include any readily available, ornamental fish with 'eat me' fins.

Bear in mind, goldfish can also grow very large, prefer very cold water environments, need -lots- of aeration in their water, and produce levels of ammonia that can be toxic to other animals.

Your turtle, is going to want some availability of dry surface to putter around on. They generally (regardless of species) need an area where the lighting is fairly constant and they can get a good 12 hours of UV exposure.

If you've got a properly set up environment, you could test their ability to coexist. Remember, float your fish first to allow an easy, less-stress adaptation to his new habitat. This could also be a great opportunity to safely see if your reptile gets rowdy and goes picking at the bag goldie's in. If he does, then they probably won't be happy tank mates.

What are fantails?

The fantail goldfish is a good choice for beginners since they are very hardy and due to the fact that Fantail goldfish can be kept in temperatures close to the freezing point. Fantail goldfish are also an ideal choice if you want to keep some type of fancy goldfish in garden ponds due to the earlier mentioned reasons.

Fantail Goldfish are recognized by their medium sized double/split tail fins. You can judge the breeding quality of a Fantail goldfish by looking at how far their fins are split. The tailfin of a high quality Fantail goldfish is almost completely split down to the root.

You can find Fantail goldfish in a number of different coloration and with metallic, matt scale or nacreous types.

Fantail goldfish doesn't grow as large as many other gold fish types and seldom reach a size of more then 16 cm / 6 inches which is small in comparison with other goldfish types such as comets goldfish that can reach over twice that length.

They are best kept in cold water and a fantail goldfish aquarium tank or garden pond should be decorated with open areas for the fish to swim on as well as heavily planted areas. The bottom should be covered with a large grained substrate if you want to give any eggs that might be laid a small chance to survive with their parents. (Which is better then no chance)

The fact that Fantail goldfish wants to be kept in cold water narrows down the number of (in the aquarium trade commonly available) plants that are suitable to be used in an aquarium with Fantail Goldfish. Pond plants and aquatic plants found in garden centres are often better choices. There is however a number of commonly available plants that are suitable to be kept in an aquarium tank with Fantail goldfish such as Crinum, Elodea (Egeria) and Anubias species. Java moss is another suitable plant to be used that also help give fry a chance to survive in your garden pond without extra help. Fantail goldfish should never be kept alone and always in groups.

Fantail Goldfish accept most food sources and can without problem be kept on a diet of flake food and pellets as long as you make sure that the food you use contains vegetables. It is important to adjust the amount of food given to the temperature in the aquarium/pond at any given time.

Fantail Goldfish is one of the easiest of the fancy goldfishes to breed. Make sure that you keep your fish well feed on a varied diet to get them in spawning condition. You will also need to lower the temperature in the pond or aquarium for a period of time to simulate seasons to get them to breed. Once the fishes have been kept in colder water for about a month or so you should slowly begin to raise the temperature and this process will trigger well feed, mature Fantail goldfish to spawn.

You will have to protect the egg and fry from the parents or the parents will eat them if they get the chance. Some fry might survive and grow up in a well planted pond or aquarium. Large balls of java moss increase the chances for the young Fantail goldfish to avoid being eaten by other larger goldfish.

Fantail goldfish can in other aspects be treated as the regular goldfish and we recommend that you read our articles about how to care for regular goldfish if this short article didn't answer your questions about Fantail goldfish and how to care for them.

How can you tell the difference between a male and female goldfish before breeding season?

== == Sexing Goldfish outside of the breeding season is extremely difficult. In the breeding season males develop small white pimples (breeding tubercles) on their gill covers and along the edge of their front fins (pectoral fins). Females are generally more rounded and deeper in body shape as they fill with roe (eggs) and have a larger vent before the anal fin.

How can you keep fish tank water cold?

If your aquarium water is consistently too warm for the species you are trying to keep, you can buy an aquarium chiller. These devices cost a fair bit more to buy than a heater, but not that much more to run. The main disadvantage of chillers, other than their expense, is that if you cool the water by more than a few degrees condensation will form on the outside of the glass. Don't use a wooden stand or a stand made of metal that might rust if you are planning on using an aquarium chiller.

What is power bait?

power bait is..power bait is simply an artificial bait that will catch a variety of fish. it comes in many forms, the most common being a clay-like pasty substance.

supposedly it works better than other forms of bait, and I've found that in most cases it actually does. as for the actual composition of the stuff, i have no idea whatsoever. i'd assume that it's several organic substances that have been allowed to ferment, which then have all moisture sucked out of them, before being doused in a smelly goo which the company makes. anyways, the chartreuse magnum floating eggs have always worked best for me

How do you keep pond over winter?

It depends upon how deep the pond is and how thick the ice gets. During frosts in the UK (England) we used to sit a saucepan filled with boiling/hot water on the ice every ten days or so. (Keep replacing the hot water as it cools). This melted a hole in the ice to allow for the exchange of gasses to take place. This may be impossible to do if the weather is too cold. In that case, if the pond is overstocked or not deep enough for the fish to escape from the ice you may suffer heavy losses. Never try to smash through the ice. The heavy vibrations/shock will kill the fish.

How do fighting fish fight?

Provided the aquarium conditions are correct and the fish are in breeding condition, once the female is added to his tank or vice versa, the male will start to build a nest on the surface of the tank out of bubbles that he makes. He may well incorporate bits of plant to add strength to the structure. Every now and then he will swim up to the female and flash his fins and try to encourage her to go with him under his nest. Once he has achieved this and the female is with him under the nest he will wrap himself around the females body embracing her. The pair will remain trembling in this embrace for a few seconds. Then the male will gently break away and the fertilised eggs will start to drop towards the bottom of the tank. He will collect these eggs and blow them into the nest. Then the process of embrace, collect etc will continue until the female is spawned out and he drives her off. This is the time to remove her otherwise the male will kill her.

The fighting fish will be funny and active, but what is funny to you is a ritual dance to the males.

yummy

>:D

Answer

the male releases hi sspirm and the female releases her egss and they get to each other and then what ever gender of spirm reaches the egg first is the gender of the fish
