All The Secrets
About Goldfish Care
by Dane Stanton
One of the most important
aspects of keeping goldfish is being fully adept in the area of goldfish
care. Unfortunately these fish are well known for their ability to catch a
multitude of diseases such as Iky and fin rot, which are two of the most
common. It's highly important that you familiarize yourself in the area of
goldfish care before you decide to purchase your own fish.
So many people are constantly
asking me why they have to keep buying new goldfish all the time and I
always ask them what their dedication to goldfish care is. What I find is
this, most people don't actually follow the 3 simple rules of goldfish care
and they are:
Rule Number
One Of Goldfish Care
Keep your tank clean at all
times. If you can't afford to by a high powered filter, which is most
people, than you must make sure you are cleaning your tank ever week. If you
aren't doing this now than you better start because this is one of the major
reasons why goldfish become infected with deadly diseases. Fin rot is one of
the most common results of an unclean tank. If you are one of those people
who doesn't clean your tank weekly than go take a look at the tails on your
goldfish. More than likely you will notice there are many holes and
parturition on the ends of the tails.
Rule Number
Two Of Goldfish Care
Feed your goldfish once daily.
Again most people tend to feed their goldfish too often. This is one of the
worst things you can do to your goldfish. Unfortunately goldfish will eat
until they kill themselves and many people ask me why their fish suddenly
pass even though they seemed completely healthy. More than likely overeating
was the cause. Just take a look at them, unless you have a pregnant fish,
there's no reason why you should have a fat fish unless you're feeding them
more than once a day.
Rule Number
Three of Goldfish Care
Always clean any external
object you plan to place in your tank. You may think you're doing everything
right, you clean your tank weekly, you're feeding your fish once daily, but
then suddenly after you place a new object inside the tank, one of your
goldfish dies. What more than likely has happened is that with the object,
came a certain disease from the outside air that unfortunately was deadly
for your goldfish. To prevent this from occurring, always make sure you
disinfect and clean any new object you add to the tank. That way you'll be
reducing the risk of your goldfish catching any unwanted diseases.
Follow the three rules of
goldfish care and you'll have happy healthy goldfish for quite some time to
come.
