Inside the filter insert in the correct order good filtering materials such as FILTERWOOL (3) synthetic fibre (3), cylinders for biological filtering such as CYLINDER FILTER (4) and CARBON FILTER (5) vegetable charcoal (5) thereby always ensuring crystal clear water. These fish like to live, as goldfish do, in stagnant waters. The installation of a filter, external or internal, is fundamental to mechanically remove the larger particles such as excrement and food residues, and to biologically filter the water thanks to the “good” bacteria that develop over time in the filter. Since goldfish are cultivated varieties of the Crucian carps, the carp habitat can serve as a model. Goldfish can survive in cold water, but they will become sluggish and eat less when the temperature is. Warmer water temperatures will cause goldfish to grow faster but shorten their life span. To prevent goldfish from reproducing keep the water at around 23° – 24° all year round (goldfish reproduce in spring when there is a rise in the temperature of the water in their environments). The ideal water temperature for goldfish is 68 to 74☏ (20 to 23☌), but they can live comfortably in temperatures from 50 to 80☏ (10 to 26☌). It is however possible to accustom the fish to temperature changes related to the seasons being careful not to drop below 12° as under that temperature they will stop feeding. Ideally the aquarium water is at a temperature of around 24° C. The pH must be between 6.5 and 8.25 while the level of ammonia and nitrites must be zero. Alternatively it would be necessary to wait 2-3 weeks for the aquarium to activate normally, perhaps by inserting only one fish in it.īefore inserting the fish, check the pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels with the appropriate tests.
It is in any case advisable to wait around 24 hours before introducing them. When kept in a pond, goldfish are more exposed to outdoor elements like natural. For breeding purposes, 26 degrees Celsius is ideal for Goldfish. But generally speaking, the optimal temperature is anywhere between 72-75 degrees Fahrenheit or 22-24 degrees Celsius.

You also need to insert a liquid bacterial activator after a couple of hours that allows you to introduce the fish into the tank quickly. Goldfish can be kept in a tank or a pond, depending on people’s preferences. We want you to know that the significant difference between the freshwater temperature and the tank’s water temperature can make your goldfish shock, eventually leading to stress in your fish. It is then necessary to treat the water inserted with a bio-conditioner to make it suitable for fish as, if distilled water is not used, remember that tap water suitable for humans also contains substances that are harmful to fish. Suppose your goldfish tank’s water temperature is 70F then your freshwater temperature should range between 68-74 F.

Once the substrate is created, install the plants and having placed the decorations it is possible to fill the aquarium with tap water using a plastic hose.īe careful to do this slowly, protecting the bottom initially with a lid or plastic sheet at the point where the water flow exits.
