Yesterday, we mentioned some tricks and steps to follow to make your goldfish last much longer in your fish tank. In addition to the periodic change of the water, to make sure that we are giving it adequate food and that the aquarium conditions are the best, it is also important that we have some tips to prolong the life of our animal.
It is for this reason, that today, we bring you some tips that can be very useful when it comes to have a goldfish in your fish tank, and even any other type of fish. Just remember them and put them to the test.
The first thing we want to mention to you today is the importance of plants in our pond. It is important that you remember that, even if you have the latest technology filters, or simply the most expensive, the best filters for an aquarium will always be the plants, so I recommend that you consult the type of plants that can be used to put in your pond . In the same way, it is very important that you always anticipate anything that may happen to your pond, for example what to do in case of a tank fissure, or if the aquarium breaks, at the same time that you think about the best place to put it to that in the event of an accident the least possible damage is caused.
For no reason, you should leave the tank lights on for more than a few hours a day. This, in addition to being quite expensive for the energy expenditure, will make the algae feel more comfortable and begin to grow quickly. Even if you have natural plants in the tank, 8 hours of light will be more than enough for them to carry out the photosynthesis process. When turning off the lights, I recommend that you turn off the lights in the room first and then the aquarium lights, do not turn them off both at the same time as it can cause your fish to become stressed or scared.
Do not forget that the tank must be large enough, since goldfish can grow up to 30 centimeters, so we do not want them to feel trapped, or that we reach a crowded situation where the animals can start to get sick or in the worst cases to die.
How many days should I change the water?
Good morning, I am the coordinator of the animal blogs. Sorry, but the authors of the old posts are gone, so they don't reply to comments. I will try to answer the best I can.
The best thing to do with this question is to watch the appearance of the water. By the time it really starts to look dirty you should think about changing it. If you want it to last longer, your best solution is to buy a water treatment plant, always keeping in mind whether your fish are cold or warm.
I hope I have helped.
A kiss,
Angela.
