tropical fish need warm water on a thermastat thing
When you put a goldfish in water, make sure you use chlorine remover. You can get this from any pet store really.. Even Wilkinsons do it...
When cleaning your filter, don't do it under the tap, use water from the tank. To keep the bacteria in.
So take some out in a bowl, then wash the pump in that and tip that water away.
You should feed goldfish three times a week, or ammonia might build up because the more they eat the more they poop... poop = ammonia.
You should also do a 25% water change every three weeks to ensure ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels stay low.
Need any more advice, let me know. :)
Always wash the fish tank out.
Are you doing what i did when i was small and put washing up liquid in the tank whey the fish where still in there.
:eusa_whis
fnx for all the serious comments lol
are there like fish that look like fantails and they have sort of the same-ish tails?
because i went to pets at home and the had them + they said they were like goldfish so you treat them in the same way :S
do you know if their tropical or cold water?
my dad has like 100's of tropical fish yeah so this is what he has
he has his tank obviously,
then he has his filter and an oxygen thing (for pumping it into the tank)
he has a REALLY bright light, like really bright
you only feed them like once a day
i think you have to put a scene on the back of the tank :S
thats what they do at the pet stores
also when you first get them do u keep the fish in the bag and place them into the water in the bag? u have to do that for 20 mins or they like go into shock
if you still dont know go to pets at home or wherever and be like can you explain to me exactly how to keep them
