If you are a Fish lover, you crashed into a right place. I am a fish and I love to be a part of your life. Well lack of knowledge of keeping me can be leather to my little life. With proper and right guidance, you can pet me and grow me as nice and healthy.
Things to Know About me:
I am at some point act just like you.
As you need a good sleep, so do I. Therefore, it is important that you keep the
lights off at night. so when you wake up, I can make your day by swimming
around the aquarium.
A healthy goldfish spends
little or no time at the surface. If you observe me floating or gasping at the
surface, this is an indicator of little or no oxygen in the water.
Aren’t I prettier than your girlfriend?
What to Use: Bowl or Tank?
Never even think of getting a bowl. Look at the sad friend of mine in the bowl and imagine yourself living in a very very small room for years. Tell me is that thought made you happy or sad?

These table data may look unreasonable to you, but trust me if you want good house for me and my kind, please follow the table.
What to Eat:
Just like
you human being, we can be very picky too. We also like to keep our body
maintain just like you do. Some human only feed us flakes, which is so boring. How
can you eat same food for rest of your life? As you eat fish, chicken,
vegetable and fruits, we eat flakes, pellets, blood worms, spinach, and green
beans. As I told you we like to keep our body maintain, please feed us once a
day only.
Water Temperature:
Well I am
not high maintenance, but I love to live in nice and room temperature water. If
your house is in a city that varies temperature all the time, I recommend installing
a heater in my tank. Please try to keep water
temperature between 60oF(15oC) to 75oF(24oC).
Water Change:
Do you clean your house
regularly? May be 3 or 4 times a week? I just need 1 time a week. Is that too
much I am asking for? We like to eat and poop a lot. So does ammonia in our water
rise up quickly. I don’t like to live in a house of poop.
Do 50% water
change once a week and complete water change once a month.
Filter:
There are
plenty of filters out there. They work like vacuum cleaner for us. I suggest grabbing
a little bigger capacity filter than your tank is. My recent owner has 70 gal filters
in 50 gal tank. He certainly makes me and fallow friends happy.
Décor:
Last but not
least, make my home decorative. So i feel like coming back home, lol. We like
to hide.
BTW That's me in left.....
