I have 3 gold fish about 3 inches in length in a 20gal tank, my first question
is how long would they survive if the power went out and the pump stopped?
Secondly,can I feed tropical fish food to them in addition to the gold fish
food?
Thanks.

I have a new pond in my back yard and my gardener added two small goldfish from
his pond. What should I feed them and how much. do i have to buy commercial fish
food?

Thanks for the idea of the battery operated aerator.I haven't seen any for sale
but I haven't look for one either since I didn't know anything about them.Beth

you can always add a battery operated aerator to give enough fresh oxygen in
your tank during power failure.

Hi Newbee from Malysia

Welcome to the wonderful world of goldies. Generally goldies require 10 gallons
of tank space per fish so the tank you have them in is very inadequate for your
fish. Goldies will grow according to their environment size.

At this time I have four goldies in a 55 gallon tank and that's about as crowded
as I like to get. In this size tank they grow quickly and are very healthy. I
bought them as tiny fish and they have grown rapidly to a very impressive size.

Your fish are at the surface because they are sufficating. Some sort of bubbler
to break the surface tension of the water will enable the oxygen to migrate into
the water more successfully also. Keep in mind also that goldies are a 'dirty'
fish and need at least a 50% water change every week or two depending on how
crowded the tank is.

I use an undergravel filter system presently but have also used a
waterfall/charcoal filter system very successfully. The size of the tank is a
much greater indicator of success than the type of filter system used.

Good luck with your goldies now go buy a bigger tank...

Hi !

I am a newbie from Malaysia. I have five small goldfishes in a seven gallon
aquarium. I have  several questions.

I have to make a water change  twice a week coz, every 3 days the water gets
cloudy and if I don't do it my pets would be gasping at the surface for air.

Is it normal for this type of problem?

Another question is - I use a sponge filter for filtration. I think either my
sponge filter is too small and I need a bigger sized sponge filter, would that
be ok? or is it better to add another same sized sponge filter so that my
goldfish last longer?

THanks in advance.

stop feeding for 3 days and add rocksalt if you have a heater it is a plus if 3
days have no improvements then I think its hard case.

Philippines Arowana and luo han society but got a sub about koi and
goldfish.

If you got a big budget buy a Melafix and add rocksalt with good
aeration.  if limited buy Methylene blue and add rocksalt with good
aeration.  Improve water condition fancy goldfish is very sensitive
in poor water condition.
