Here’s What Your Goldfish Needs

Posted on July 13, 2016

1. Buy the largest aquarium tank you can

You might think a bowl suffices, but you’re wrong. It’s a misconception that your goldfish requires smaller tanks and bowls as opposed to other fishes and aquatic animals. The larger the tank, the happier your fish! The ideal measurements are:

Length = 4 x adult body length (172m)

Width = 2 x adult body length

Height = 3 x adult body length

2. The right food

It is very important to not feed your fish more than required. It leads to problems in their fragile digestive system, and in some cases also prove fatal.

3. Aquatic plants

Goldfish are prey animals and require plant cover to prevent stress and accelerate activity. Plants also provide a lot of healthy enrichment.

4. Filtration and Aeration

Goldfish are heavy feeders and really high waste producers and require efficient filtration regularly. You have to make sure the water is oxygenated and that the tank is cleaned often to enable your fish a healthy life.

5. A friend!

Goldfish are social animals, so you should get your pet another friend to share the tank with! It helps them with their growth and they live longer!
