Hey, it's Milkshake again. On this link, learn all about how to care for your goldfish and how to keep them alive for a long time!
Goldfish care
TANK SIZE: The first thing you'll need to ensure proper goldfish care and longlivity is a good size fish tank. Do not, I repeat, Do not get a goldfish bowl. Goldfish bowls deprive the fish of oxygen and then it will die. If you already have a fish bowl, try to not fill the bowl up all the way.This will ensure your pet gets more oxygen. When you are selecting a tank, as a rule, there should be 5 gallons of water for every goldfish.
DECORATIONS: Decorations are important, as they provide fun and places to hide for your goldfish. Instead of getting fake plants, a better idea would be real aquatic plants, because they are not scratchy, and can serve as a snack if your fish gets hungry. Make sure that the plant you are putting in are made to thrive in a cold freshwater enviorment. Aquatic plants will also act as a goldfish feces filter. A filter is another essential, because goldfish tend to be messy fish. Most tanks come with a filter.
GOLDFISH COMPADEBILITY: Some types of goldfish are compadable with others, and some are not good with a certain species. Fast-swimming goldfish such as Commons, Comets, and Shubunkins, do well with each other, but not well with fancy goldfish. Fancy goldfish usually have a more rounded body, making them slow. This trait makes them not be able to swim fast. If a fancy goldfish is put in with a fast moving one, the fancy would not get any food, because the faster fish would get all the food before the fancy can get any. Fancies are good with other fancies. Black moors do not have very good eye-sight, so they do well with other sight impaired goldfish, such as The Telescope eye, The Celestial eye, and The Bubble eye.
