What are the basic requirements to oranda gold fish & which are its tank mates?
Gold fish are very excellent fish. But its very pity they are sold as feeders for other big fish. And they are put in very worst conditions and are thrown half alive. Give good water and large swimming space which boost up their energy levels and metobolic rate. They are prone to several parasial diseases. So they need good water and plants. They won’t eat plants. Water should not have high current. Better go with a good filter with less current. They need air pump. They eat too much (if u give) and dirty the water wit the excretion. Add small chips in the tank for better environment. Small stones help as home to beneficial bacteria. Browse through the net about the caring gold fish. Lot of material is available aand several forums are ready to help you out. WETWEBMEDIA is the bes one to get the information. All the best. Give good food like pellets and occasional blood worms. Too much leads to constipation. Give food that contains vegetable matter in it. No animal food is suggested. B
