Goldfish

There are many types of Goldfish, including the common, comet,Celestial (which has eyes on top of its head), Red Cap Oranda, Vieltail, Dragon's eye, Tiger, Stargazer, Popeye, Curled Gill, Nymph, Chinese Telescope, Black Moor, Pearlscale, Shubunkins, Bubble-eyed (which have fluid filled sacs under its eyes), and Lionhead. These cold-water fish were developed by Chinese farmers 1,000 years ago and well- cared Goldfish can live for more than 32 years! Try not to get bored with them!

Do not keep goldfish with tropical fish because goldfish and tropical fish have different temperature requirements.

Care for the Goldfish: (note: don't keep Bubble-eyed Goldfish with other fish. Boisterous tankmates can damage the goldfish's eye sacs.) (I don't know the dH or pH.) Temperature: 58-68 degrees Farenheit----- Foods: diet shouldn't be too rich in protein, but accepts every kind of live and dried foods.
