How to Choose and Care for Goldfish
Keeping goldfish starts with choosing healthy fish, especially for beginners who may otherwise face sudden illness. Avoid fish that float head-down, list to the side, or show wounds, lost scales, white fuzz, white spots, bloodshot fins, cloudy eyes or faded color. Feed a varied diet of live foods or quality pellets, use fixed times and spots, keep one year-old fish to about 10 litres of water, and maintain clean, stable-temperature water to prevent disease.
4 Common Goldfish Diseases and How to Treat Them
Goldfish commonly face white spot disease, pinecone (dropsy) disease, print disease, and hemorrhagic disease. Lower the risk with good, stable water quality, steady temperature, and avoiding stress and physical injury. Keep water clean with regular changes and enough oxygen, and adjust temperature with the weather. Healthy water is the foundation of goldfish health.
