- About the fish:
In the video the fish you saw are my pets.The tank you saw in the video only for the video session not a permanent place.Gold Fish is the most beautiful,liked by all,hardy,easy to keep fish.Its scientific name Carassius auratus.Gold fish was first developed in eastern asia.It came from yellow,pink carp.The gold fish which we are having came from centuries of hard work by our fore fathers.It came by mutation and by selective breeding to varies colours,tails,eyes etc.
Character:
Gold fish is a good fish means ,it won't fight with other fish,very hardy but not the hybrids.The character of fish depends from where they bred.It will also consume lot of oxygen so when calculating the size of the tank,you have to provide 45 liters of watter per fish.The gold fish can recognise the owner so he must have eye contact and even talk to them.We cannot have all kinds of gold fish in one tank,particularly the hybrids.Since it is domesticated it can live only with us.
Feeding:
This is a omnivorous,so it can eat all kinds of food .We have to serious note that live food will not only infect the fish but also will bring parasites.I prefer good quality flouting pellet from good source.Sinking food will get into gaps and spoil the water.Gold fish will go on eating and die so you must the feed what it eats in the morning for five minutes ,is the food requirement. If you are having time and don't forget you can divide it for two meals,this will make the fish stay active.if you are having many kinds of fish you have to watch because fast type will eat all the food.You can cut the fish meat into small pieces which the fish can eat,wash it and feed them
Caring:
Once we set our aquarium,a big responsibility falls on us.As we take care of our babies,the fish is also like a baby and it is our duty to take care of them.Gold fish consumes more oxygen so in the beginning it self we must provide space(each fish big or small 45 litres per fish)Gold fish can grow upto 10 inches and more.We have to observe closely for colour variation,movement variation,parasites,blisters etc.Do not keep varies types of gold fish in the same tank.gold fish is a cold water fish so must avoid hi.gh temperatures.In office or at home you should not switch off ac or heater suddenly because it will give thermal shock which can lead to sickness or even death.It is better to keep gold fish seperately. Its colour will change according to its environment.So the stones and other items can be same colour of the fish.
Take care of your gold and bye.........
