How to care for your goldfish. We have taken great care to ensure the fish we supply are of excellent quality and condition. Ideally we would like every goldfish we supply to live to a mature old age. We will offer assistance to you when purchasing the coldwater fish you desire. We will encourage you to give your fish a spacious and clean environment. We will advise you of the fishes dietry requirements. & We will always be available to offer advice and tips when required. If you experience any issues, please 'ask us' we are happy to help you. To ensure a large margin of comfort for your fish, we will recommend. Small Goldfish (1" - 2 "): Allow minimum 30 litres per fish. (60l min start size) Max fish size (1:10) a 6 cm long (body). = 60 litre aquarium Goldfish often exceed 15cm. You should only consider keeping goldfish if you are prepared to upgrade your aquarium to 150 litres+ as they grow. Fish compatability: Like most animals, Goldfish have variations in their social habits. We can offer advice but are unable to offer guarantees of compatability. Territorial disputes can be a cause of disruption within an aquarium, it can help to reposition decor when introducing new fish. The internet can offer some usefull advice when researching new species. When cared for, goldfish can live for over 30 years. There are 2 types of Goldfish. Common (slim single tail) & Fancy (twin tailed round bodied.) Common goldfish may live in an unfiltered aquarium. (weekly water changes)! All Goldfish benefit from the addition of a filter. The fancy goldfish require filtration and lots of swimming space. We offer the advice that: 'mixing the 2 types can sometimes result in the fancy species being denied the ability to feed, by the faster common species'. With care aquarists can achieve this mix safely. NOTE: Correct feeding and regular water changes are the key to goldfish health and successful fish keeping. Sinking (best) or floating granular pellet foods and occasional frozen foods, are all that is required to keep your goldfish healthy. (small goldfish = start at 6 granules per fish per day)
