Common Goldfish (Carassius auratus)
Category: Coldwater

General: The Common goldfish comes in a range of colours and is the traditionally kept pet. These fish can grow quite large and are not suited for small tanks or bowls in the long term. They are best kept in small shoals in as large a tank as you can afford. They also make excellent pond fish.

Difficulty: Fairly Easy
Maximum Size
30cms

Water Temperature Range
18-22C

Water pH
6.5-8.5

Water Hardness
6-16 GH

Diet
A good quality goldfish flake or pellet is best as the staple diet. This can be supplemented with occasional treats such as dried daphnia or frozen fish foods. They will also happily eat any plants that you put in the aquarium with them.

Compatability
They are very compatible with other coloured gold fish, sarasa comets, and shubunkins. May also be kept with other coldwater species such as weather loach and if your tank is well oxygenated and not too small, butterfly plecostomus.
