Goldfish are little-known and fascinating creatures. Far from the cliché of fish in a bowl, I will explain to you where it comes from and how to take care of it so that it remains healthy.
Goldfish living place
Wild goldfish ( golden crucian carp ) live in lakes, at mid-depth or near the bottom, because that is where they find their food. In captivity, they live in ponds or aquariums.
How to take care of it?
Goldfish must absolutely live in a pond or aquarium. The aquarium must have a capacity of at least 50 liters, however, I recommend a volume of at least 100 liters for a single fish. Indeed, goldfish need a lot of space to develop properly. In this aquarium, you need at least:
-
Fine gravel; goldfish love to dig in gravel, it's essential for them.
-
A real plant. In addition to being essential for the condition of the water, real plants do not risk hurting the mouths of fish that like to eat them. The most suitable plants are anubias and Java ferns.
-
You should feed your goldfish twice a day. They can eat specific goldfish kibble, which contains all the necessary nutrients, but also peas and salad, for example.
This is the minimum required to keep your goldfish alive and healthy.
