Hello! Today, for those of you who want to raise goldfish, we will learn how to raise goldfish! 🐟 Goldfish are one of the pets that many people love, but there are some important things to keep in mind in order to raise them well. For beginners, I will organize various information!
1. Basic information about goldfish
Goldfish are freshwater fish that originally originated in China. They are loved by many people for their various colors and shapes. Goldfish usually grow to be about 20~30cm long and have a long lifespan of more than 10 years. Therefore, sufficient preparation is necessary before raising goldfish.
2. Preparation for raising goldfish
There are some essential preparations for raising goldfish. First, you need a tank. It is recommended to prepare a tank of at least 60 liters, and the larger the tank, the healthier the goldfish can grow. Filters and heaters for the tank are also essential. It is important to keep the water in the tank clean and maintain an appropriate temperature.
3. Goldfish habitat
Goldfish like to grow in clean water. It is good to change the water in the tank periodically and put sand or gravel on the bottom of the tank. Also, if you put aquatic plants or decorations in the tank, the goldfish will have a place to hide, which will reduce stress. The ideal temperature for the tank is 20 to 24 degrees.
4. Goldfish food and feeding method
Goldfish can eat a variety of foods. It is best to feed them commercially sold goldfish food, and you can supplement nutrients by occasionally feeding them vegetables or small crustaceans. Feed them 2 to 3 times a day, and adjust the amount you feed them at a time to the amount they can eat within 5 minutes. Overfeeding is not good for the health of goldfish!
5. Goldfish health management
Regular tank cleaning and water changes are essential to maintain the health of goldfish. Also, check the condition of your goldfish frequently, and take immediate action if you notice any abnormal symptoms. It is also important to check the pH and temperature of the tank. Healthy goldfish swim actively and have bright colors.
6. How to breed goldfish
Goldfish have different breeding seasons. Breeding usually occurs in the spring, and breeding can occur naturally if you keep females and males in the tank together. After breeding, it is best to separate the eggs from other fish to protect them. Baby goldfish that are born from eggs need to be cared for separately.
