Question

well she is fine now but i was realy worried last night because she was just led breething but when i changed the water she seemed fine but i was realy worried because iv only had her like 4 days and i was woundering i i should get her a friend by putting another goldfish in there

Answer 1

Glad to hear everything is ok. Good job taking care to change the water so often! That's so important to keeping healthy fish. She doesn't need a friend right now, she's still getting used to her new tank and will grow much faster in the tank by herself.

Answer 2

how large is her tank? is the tank filtered? if so, was it cycled? does she have any air bubblers in there? goldfish need a lot of oxygen in their water.

if the tank is not filtered you'll need to do very regular water changes, like 3 times a week, and goldfish will suffer from having such a changing environment. if he's in a bowl, get him a tank, a bowl is for flowers not fish!

goldfish poop a LOT and grow quite large, so they need a good sized tank, 20 US gallons for one goldfish, 10 US gallons per fish thereafter. goldfish need a filtered tank, GOOD filtration, to deal with that poopy, and the filtered tank must be CYCLED. or else the fish will suffer from ammonia poisoning. and as i said before, an air bubbler is a must also to get your goldy the right amount of oxygen they need.

Answer 3

I have goldfish too and I can tell you that you should be really careful about what other fish you put in there. Talk to the person at the pet store and see which ones they recommend.

Be careful when you clean and change the water on the tank. Fish need to get acustom to the water temp first before you just throw them in there.

Answer 4

Goldfish can not live alone or they will die,you will soon see she will not be eating the food you are giving her.Try to put another goldfish in their with her.[the same size.]
