Goldfish

Goldfish belong to the kingdom Animalia, as they are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that obtain energy through consuming food.

Goldfish usually react positively to having a light source, however it is unhealthy to leave your fish tank illuminated constantly and the light also encourages algae to grow rapidly. Eight to twelve hours a day is sufficient for a happy goldfish.

If your fish has fungus something must have caused it. These things do not "just happen". The usual cause is putrid water. First lets treat the fungus. You will need 2 clean buckets. Fill them both with clean water of the same temperature as the fishes tank. Dissolve 1 dessertspoonfull of cooking/sea salt per gallon in one bucket and add the fish to the salty water. If the fish show signs of distress put the fish in the other none salted bucket and weaken the solution by pouring some of the salty water away and replacing it with clean then place the fish back in the salted water again. While the fish is in the salty water you can remove most of the water from the tank and replace it with clean water of the same temperature and add 1 teaspoonfull of salt per gallon of water. Check the filter out and either clean or replace at least 80% of the filter medium. After about 1 hour in the salty water the fish can be placed back in the tank. If you do this treatment and water change procedure daily for a week or so the fish may well recover fully. Then stick to the basic rules of "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water". "Every tank containing aquatic life needs a cycled filter". and last but not least "every tank containing life needs to have at least 50% of its water changed weekly".

I am not aware of magnets having any effect on goldfish. Maybe a large electro magnet created by passing windings around a tank then applying current through the winding could have an effect but a simple magnet placed on or into a fish tank should have no effect on the fish whatsoever.

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

Salmon are anadromous fish, meaning they are born in freshwater, migrate to the ocean to mature, and then return to freshwater to spawn. They spend most of their life in the ocean but require freshwater for reproduction.

No. Goldfish cannot live in a five gallon tank at all, they are very messy and potentially large fish that require an absolute minimum of 20 gallons. For a 5 gallon coldwater tank, paradise fish or white cloud mountain minnows would be attractive choices. For a tropical tank there are a lot of small species suitable for a nano tank, and you could consider the ever-popular betta, or some tetras or dwarf rainbowfish.

Goldfish have a more basic range of emotions compared to humans, but they can experience stress, fear, and happiness. They may show behaviors such as seeking food, exploring their environment, or interacting with other fish as a way of expressing these emotions. However, their emotional capacity is not the same as that of more complex animals.

When measuring the length of a goldfish for an aquarium, it is common practice to measure from the tip of the fish's nose to the base of the tail fin, excluding the tail length. This measurement is known as the "standard length" and is used to determine appropriate tank size based on the fish's body length.

Color change is normal in goldfish they often will change colors multiple times in their life. However, if the black is streaky and brownish, or if the color change is mainly at the lips and edges of the fins, that means the ammonia in the tank has reached a dangerous level and is actually burning your fish. Just to be on the safe side, test the ammonia level in you tank.

Fish produce ammonia and fish waste. Ammonia is toxic to all fish and will cause the fish to die if left untreated and frequent water changes are not performed. It does matter how big of a tank that your goldfish is in. For example the bigger the tank the longer it takes for toxic levels of ammonia to rise. If you plan to keep this fish longer than a week or two. It would be good to do a little research on it. I recommend a 5 gallon tank with a filter. Petsmart and Walmart sells 5 gal. Starter kits that make it pretty easy as well.

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.

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.

Yes, you can prune your goldfish plant to promote new growth and maintain its shape. Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Pruning should be done in spring or early summer for best results.

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.

A goldfish is an ectotherm, meaning it relies on external sources of heat to regulate its body temperature. It cannot generate its own body heat internally like endotherms (e.g. mammals and birds) can.

Freshwater amoeba in salt water will have a higher solute content outside of the amoeba. The water in the amoeba will want to move out of the amoeba and into the environment. This will cause the amoeba to shrivel and die.

yes there are because in a goldfish body cell there are 94 chromosomes. in order to find the amount of chromosomes in a sex cell of a goldfish you need to divide the body cells by two. this is so because in order to make another goldfish half need to come from daddy and half need to come from mommy this is why you divide by half. therefore there are 47 chromosomes in a goldfish's sex cell.

Goldfish are omnivores, meaning they eat both plant and animal matter. In the wild, they mainly feed on small insects, algae, and plants. In captivity, goldfish can also be fed a variety of commercial fish food that provides them with the necessary nutrients.

It is very possible, given the rejuvination that the oceans could experience and the increace in the percentage of the earth covered by water. It would, however, probably take hundreds of millions of years.

Yes you can... should you? NO! chlorine is poisonous Read the label there is a 'If Swallowed Warning' I would certainly NOT recommend this. Clorox is not safe for human consumption, diluted or not. If you want to bleach your teeth, go see a dentist or pay a little money and get one of those teeth bleaching kits. A little extra money is worth not hurting or poisoning yourself.

Goldfish are omnivores, meaning they eat both plant-based and animal-based foods. While they do consume plants and algae as part of their diet, they also need protein from sources such as insects, worms, and small crustaceans.
