Common Name :
Gold Fish
Scientific Name :
Carassius auratus
Fish-size:
They grow around 15cm in length and
they do vary differently in size depend on tank and feeding, big
tanks with proper filtration is required.
Water Chemistry:
Type: Fresh Water
Ph : 6 – 7.5
Temperature: Cold water preferable, few
species can withstand Tropical temperature.
Food :
All types of fish food.
Temperament
Peaceful.
Special Care:
Pond setup is preferable with good
filtration. Other wise frequent partial water change is required,
since they eat a lot and produce lots of waste. Avoid fin nippers.
And Particularly Molly fish, since they enjoy feeding the mucus like
secretion on gold fishes and eventually lead them to die. So again
word of caution not molly in goldfish tank. Platys are okay.
Sexing
Very difficult better to get a group
and leave them to pair on their own.
Breeding :
Gold fish are egg
layers.
