Thai Goldfish

Holidaying in Asia at present and I keep running in to goldfish.

How cold can goldfish water be?

It really depends on the type goldfish, common goldfish, Comets &  Shubunkins will survive a light icing on top of the pond during the winter months, as long as the water still contains sufficient oxygen. Twin tailed goldfish sometimes referred to as fancy gold fish need normal room temperature water, except for fantail goldfish which are a lot hardier and seem to do well outside.

Lethargic Goldfish

Sue wrote and asked...

Hope you can help, we have some goldfish at work who seem very lethargic, they just lie on the bottom of the tank. We've had the water checked, there's plenty of oxygen and they're being fed correctly. Any ideas

Goldfish Care

My first guess would be water temperature, goldfish like cooler water and are considered cold water fish,

the temperature should be 64-74 degrees Fahrenheit

Another day in the goldfish bowl

Todays the day! Over at goldfish care we receive questions daily on how to care for your goldfish rather than just file them we will now be posting them here as they arrive.
