A guide to keeping goldfish healthy. You need at least 20 liters of water per fish, a good filter, an aerator, and to feed them once or twice daily. Watch for signs of illness and choose plants they won't uproot.
Foreign welcome to Animal Expert. This time we are going to talk about caring for the goldfish, one of the most popular fish in existence. Due to its simple care, a single goldfish specimen should have a minimum of 40 liters of water, which can be translated into 50cm wide by 40cm high and 30cm deep. If we were considering having more specimens, we should look for an aquarium proportional to these measurements. A 100L aquarium can house several goldfish. In order for our goldfish to feel comfortable in its new environment, we must respect the parameters indicated below. The water hardness should be between 10 and 15 and the pH between 6.8 and 8. The temperature between 10 and 32. It is very important to find intermediate points, since the measurements indicated are the maximum that it can withstand. There are two elements that can greatly help us in its care. The first is an aerator, a tool that allows bubbles to spread throughout the environment. This way, the goldfish won't need to come to the surface to breathe constantly. The higher the temperature, the more important the presence of the aerator will be. The other is the filter, perfect for good aquarium hygiene. If we don't have much time to dedicate to our fish, it is a good option to keep the aquarium clean for longer. It is very important to put a thick layer of gravel between 1.5 and 2.5 centimeters. This way, we will achieve proper absorption of the fish's droppings and food remains. But it will also be useful if we have plants, since it allows the roots to be protected and to be able to expand well. You should avoid all plants that are small and tender. The goldfish is a voracious eater and will probably finish off delicate plants quickly. For example, bet on plants from the anubias family, since they are much more resistant. We can place logs, vegetation and figures of all kinds in our aquarium. Go to any store to discover the options they have there and customize your aquarium. The gallfish is an omnivorous fish, which increases the range of possibilities up to one year of age. We can feed our goldfish with flakes, a common product in any specialty store. However, from that moment on, and to avoid swim bladder disease, we should start feeding it with small purees made from natural fish and vegetables, especially if it lives with other fish. You should check your goldfish regularly to rule out possible diseases or possible aggression between individuals. If you find a fish in the aquarium that is injured or acting strangely, it is best to separate it from the other goldfish for a speedy recovery. I hope you enjoyed the video. If so, give it a like.
