Goldfish

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.

It probably has swim bladder disease. Swim bladder disease is when your goldfish is constipated, and the food is just building up in its stomach. This also happens when you do not soak their food and there is still air in the food and its puts air in the goldfishes stomach and therefore makes it float. Allow me to warn you this disease could be fatal for your goldfish if not treated. My goldfish had swim bladder disease, and this is what I did to help-

1: I made to sure there was little to no ammonia in the tank

2: I withheld food for 2-3 days. The last thing you want to do is add more air in there and possibly some of the food will digest and your goldfish will be relieved and you may have to do anything else. (Although I wouldn't count on it, this helped my goldfish but didn't stop the SBD. (Swim bladder disease)

3: This could also be caused because of lack of greens, vegi's, and fruit. Your goldfish can't live on a diet of pellets forever. Offer it greens at least 2 a week, or you can get a little clippy thing and you can put some lettuce in there. (My four goldfish chomp down a big piece of lettuce fast, they really love it. But I wouldn't recommend leaving it in there for more than 2 weeks) Also, give them a small slice of an orange. My goldfish love oranges, and I think that the orange really helped my goldfish. Don't leave the orange in for more than four hours because the citrus can bring up the ammonia.

4: Remember: Ryukin's and Pearlscales are prone to this disease because of their round shapes. (They are also prone to dropsy) Almost anyone that works with goldfish will have to work with this disease at least once- so that's ok! Good luck to you and your goldfish!!

Many many many fish get along with guppies. Guppies are very peaceful live bearing fish. They breed readily in the aquarium and quite prolifically if left unchecked.

Some suggested tank mates are, most kinds of tetras (not all), rasboras, danios, platys, mollies, swordtails, cherry barbs, gold barbs, just to name a few. Look up info online about guppies and most info will list suitable tanks mates.

They need a tank fish food

Air bladders have been used in a number of applications since the invention of synthetc rubber in the 1940's. Most of the applications include bumpers for ships when they dock, as cushions for various industrial applications where a soft impact is required, and as substitutes for springs in cars (early Mercedes 600 models had air cushions/bladders)

contrary to popular belief, most goldfish do not have a stomach!

Fish live in the water, so generally they only need food.

But they get their oxygen from the water through their gills, so they will need the water to have dissolved oxygen at a proper level.

I feed my catfish macaroni, frozen peas should be fine for a catfish. If the fish cant swallow something, generally it cant fit it in its mouth. Plus, they swim in their own feces, vegetables won't harm it.
