Goldfish

I heard this from someone. Though it is unbelievable, goldfish, if tooken care of well, can live up to 25 years! I have heard of a goldfish that lived 50 years! I cannot imagine my little one inch goldfish living for THAT long. =)

If the red is near or on its head, it is stressed. Stress leads to a weaker immune system, which means it is prone to getting sick. Try these tips to keep your fish calm:

* Move your fish to a quiet room in your house. * Do not disturb it. Check on it once in a while. Do not crowd around its tank. * Add aquarium salt to the tank. Follow the instructions to how much to put. Aquarium salt is like soda to fish, except it is healthy for them. It helps them reduce stress. If you are ever in Chelmsford, MA, go to Fins&Feathers Pet Store. They have the healthiest pets ever! Just tell them Erin sent you.

Goldfish have a big red eyes because it could be do to its condition or because it could be getting sick also poor hygiene and no proper care so observe and keep it healthy

A small breed of fish is guppies or tetras. In our science lab there is a fishtank with guppies and tetras in it and they are pretts small. Feeder goldfish are also small, i have two and they are about an inch each.

If the bass is large enough to swallow the goldfish then it will eat it.

The streamline shape of a fish has lower friction. Also, vortices form from the movement of the tail which save energy when swimming

well to see it go to google-image-food chain for a start

Room Temperature (*does not matter as long as you don't throw ice cubes in the tank or heat it up on the stove)

But when you purchase them with the bag containing them, do not immediate throw them into your tank; instead, put the bag with the fishes into the tank (filled) and so they can gradually adjust to the temperature in your tank.

Seriously, people makes this too complicated sometimes. They are fish, really easy to take care of.

I have gold fish and I have never bothered with the temperature, they are healthy and lived more or less to their life expectancy.

When you get a new fish it is important to take it straight home! then You place the bag the fish are in, in your tank. wait 10-15 minutes before adding some of your tank water to the bag. wait for 5-10 minutes, then carefully put your fish in the tank with a net. wait 24 hours before feeding them.

Before you buy your fish make sure you leave the water to set for at least 5-7 days.

So to put a fish in a new tank it takes around 15-25 minutes.

Clams eat plankton. They are filter feeders, meaning they pump water into their bodies and filter the microorganisms through their gills.

no, goldfish are however multicellular organisms

No, one goldfish needs 20 gallons alone at minimum, plus an additional 10 gallons for every goldfish you wish to add. This means that for two goldfish, you need at least a 30 gallon aquarium.

This is because they are trying to breed or fighting but they will fight to death

The best habitat for a goldfish would be a fishtank, where the fish can grow. Wild Goldfish: Wild goldfish would live in ponds, or small lakes of fresh water
Aquatic.

Scaled fish often obtain food by eating plants and animals that are smaller than themselves. Some fish have teeth or hard bony structures that can help to crush them into smaller pieces.

Yes, they do. It could take a while and you will have to do frequent water changes. If you don't, his could get fin rot again. I have used Melafix (by API0) and it makes the fins grow back much faster than left on their own.

Yes they do. Your fish may not be eating because it can't see the food if it's floating. Because of black moor's poor eye sight it is hard to see foods that float. Try using sinking pellets. If it continues not to eat your fish may be sick.

No. Only by the protruding vent. You can also tell by white dots near the head, especially at the gill, and pectoral fins.

Goldfish are coldwater fish and need their water about 55F. Angelfish are tropical fish and need their water about 80F so they could not live for long under the same conditions. If you wished to keep both species then you would need two tanks set up in totally different ways. The minimum sized tank to house one of either of the species is about 12 gallons. For two Goldfish or two Angelfish you would need at least a 30 US Gallon tank because they grow quite large. Aquarium prices vary depending upon who you buy one off. They are often seen at Garage sales and are also advertised second hand in the "for sale, classifieds" section of newspapers.

Yes, unless you want the mother to eat them

A gold fish or a beta fish should be a good starter fish.

If u have been angry or very stressed out lately that's what it is probably from. u should probably see a doctor and get a prescritption just to see if its not too serious! I'm not sure, but, It has happened to me. One on my forehead, then my index finger, now the back of my head......Stress may be a factor, but, I'm heading to the doc tomorrow...

A betta prefers warm water, where gold fish like cold water, also male bettas prefer to be by themselves, also a betta prefers a shallow water where gold fish prefer a deep tank, gold fish need a filter and bettas do not.

Yes, a goldfish can see you; in color for that matter. Goldfish have eyes on the sides of their heads which gives them a blind spot right in front of them. They can see fairly decent close up but not as clear at greater distances.

They can also sense your movements with their 'sixth sense' located in their lateral line. It helps them recognize where predators are approaching from.

That depends on where you are getting it from. A 5 gal tank is pretty small. At a garage sale you could pick one up second hand for cents. Try googling "buy fish tank" in your area and check for sale and wanted adds in the classifieds. I personally wouldn't pay more than $5.00 for one.
