Aquarium Equipment

For your goldfish care you will need these items, but buy these well before you get your goldfish..You may not require all these items depending on your climate. Aquarium and hood with a stand, fluorescent lights,airline tubing with an aquarium filter and air stone, a thermometer, a siphon with buckets for water changes,gravel, freshwater test kits for testing ammonia etc, seeding kit, plus plants and ornaments.

Caring For Goldfish.

One aspect of care is knowing what to give them for food, being omnivorous you will find they will eat almost anything. For beginners I would suggest relying on the pre-packaged goldfish foods from your pet store, which can be floating flake or pellet form, though only for common goldfish and comets. Feeding them twice a day is sufficient, but give them only enough food that they can eat in 2 to 3 minutes, you don’t want uneaten food causing problems to your water quality. .
