Gold Fish

-

 






Modern Goldfish are a domesticated version of a wild carp from east Asia. Their wild ancestor was Silver-grey. Known as "chi" , it was at one time the most common fishes eaten in china. In the ninth century Chinese people - mainly Buddhist Monk began to keep chi in ponds , where they were safe from predators.

According to legend, Governor Ting Yen-tsan discovered both golden and yellow chi in a pond outside the city of Jiaxing. The pond then become a "Pond of mercy".



Fancy Goldfish are for Beginners? This is a serious myth. No they don't for beginners. Yes they can survive in a cloudy water, Any temperature, in a bowl or a small glass box . But will survive few days of lifespan. Gold fish needs a huge tank ( min 3 ft. for a group of 4) , clear water with high aeration, proper maintain & a good food habit. Weekly water change is a mandatory practice for a gold fish keeper.

Filtration is the Backbone: exactly so , for any goldfish tank second important things is high filtration and high DO ( dissolve Oxygen) level in tank water. you need a top filter (15 Watt) along with 2 medium size sponge filtration system for a 3 ft. goldfish only aquarium. filtration should be on for 24*7. Frequently water change recommended ,at least 30% weekly basis.

NOW They love feeding, yes they are greedy!!!
