Gold Fish
Making The Most Of Your Gold Fish Tank
Gold fish are usually a child’s first pet and if you’re thinking of keeping a gold fish tank, there are a few basic things you need to know. By understanding how to keep your gold fish tank in tip top condition will ensure you have happy fish.
The first thing to decide is how many fish you wish to have. If you only want a couple of small fish then a small gold fish tank or even a gold fish bowl is all you will need but if you require lots of fish or larger fish then you will need a large gold fish tank to ensure the fish remain healthy. A tank which holds 30 gallons of water will house up to 6 average gold fish. Gold fish tanks come in various sizes and can be made from either acrylic or glass.
To make the gold fish tank a nice place for the fish to live plants, rocks and other items can be purchased to place at the bottom of your gold fish tank for the fish to enjoy. All accessories, including the rocks, should be washed in water before they are placed into the tank. You will need to test the water when you first put it in the tank and you’ll have to purchase a test kit to make sure the oxygen, nitrate and other chemical balances are in line.
Most gold fish tanks come with the filters and because gold fish can survive in water temperatures from 78 degrees to very cold waters, a heater is not needed and regular room temperature will do just fine for the water in your gold fish tank.
What Fish are best for Your Gold Fish Tank
When choosing a gold fish for your gold fish tank you need to ensure the fish you buy are healthy. Check the fins are upright and not droopy as fins which are down are a sign of a stressed fish. Another thing to look for is fish with foggy eyes, discoloration or other similar abnormalities. Gold fish are not just gold, and come in many sizes, shapes and colors. Most gold fish will grow up to 5 to 8 inches in length. Gold Fish tanks are an ideal starter pet in teaching your children how to look after their pets properly. The fish in your new gold fish tank if looked after correctly will provide hours of fun and is also proven to be a relaxing hobby.
