Dr. Jungle says: "The average lifespan of the
common goldfish is over 20 years and some have been known to live 32 years."
Goldfish are one of the all-time favorites of fishkeepers everywhere.
They are colorful, hardy, and fun to watch! Goldfish are also one of the
first aquatic animals to be kept as pets in recorded history!
The goldfish available in pet stores today are descendants
of wild carp fish originally from southern China. Although they originated
in China, several hundred years ago Japan began to develop them into the
wonderful colors and forms we see today.
Goldfish are a cold water fish and will
do best at temperatures between 18°-22° C (65°-72° F) although some of
the hardier species such as Common goldfish, Comets, Moors or Shubunkins
can tolerate temperatures a few degrees above freezing!
Many people try to keep goldfish in small one or two gallon
bowls with no heater or filtration. But for the best success in keeping
goldfish, provide them the same filtration, especially biological filtration,
that other aquarium residents enjoy.
