How to keep goldfish alive? A step-by-step guide to raising them

Today, what I want to talk to you about is our cutest little goldfish. I believe the little goldfish swimming around in a small round glass bowl is a childhood memory for many people. Although we have grown up now and the small glass bowl has been replaced by a big fish tank, the little goldfish is still as hard to keep alive as ever (laughs). So how can you keep little goldfish alive and keep them well? Now let the editor share some experience with you~

How to keep goldfish alive

1. Sun the water

Prepare the fish tank. If it is a small fish tank, you can pour the water into the tank in advance. Then put the tank together with the water in the sun for two days. If it is a big fish tank, sun the water first and then pour it in. Why sun the water? Because the water contains chlorine, and chlorine is harmful to goldfish. Putting it in the sun can effectively volatilize the chlorine. Many people just add tap water after buying the fish and then leave it alone. Of course, that way you cannot keep goldfish alive. No matter how lazy you are, this step cannot be skipped.

2. Aerate

For this point, a big fish tank is fine. Today's fish tanks all come equipped with an oxygen pump. Oxygen can still be guaranteed. But many people just want to keep a few on a desktop for fun. Then you need to change the water and add oxygen in time, or buy a small oxygen pump. If you have a lot of fish and refuse to change to a bigger tank, letting them crowd in a small tank with insufficient oxygen, then I would still advise you not to keep them. Have you ever observed that if there are too many fish, they will stick their heads out of the water to breathe? That is actually caused by insufficient oxygen. And after the fish edema, they will die because the dissolved oxygen has been used up.

3. Control feeding

The feeding control mentioned here is not because of the online rumor that fish eat too much, burst, and then die. It is because if the fish food is not finished, it will dissolve by itself in the water. And this dissolving process consumes oxygen, dear friends!! So it is still because of lack of oxygen! The so-called eating too much and bursting is really just a rumor! Someone has done experiments. Without changing the water, they kept feeding the goldfish. After the fish died, they dissected the fish and found that the fish's intestines could still hold more, and there was still room left. No matter what, fish food must be in the right amount. You must make sure the fish can eat it all cleanly

4. Change the water often and clean often

No matter whether you have an oxygen pump or not, the water still needs to be changed often. Only in this way can you ensure there is plenty of oxygen in the water. The water will also be pure and clean. In addition, pay attention to cleaning the fish tank often, otherwise the fish will get sick. Sometimes you see the fish with rotten tails or eyes falling off. Actually, it is not that they are about to die, but an infection. You just need to clean the fish tank and change the water often.
