How to Breed Gold Fishes

Breeding gold fishes will bring many benefits to people, such as cheer houses up, cultivate and relax people’s mind, etc. However, do you know how to breed gold fishes? If not, let me share some points with you. 
First, prepare an aquarium and water in it 1-2 days before gold fishes are put it in. After that, put fishes which were bought from the store with plastic package together into the aquarium and make it hang in the upper level of the water for about half an hour when the temperatures are close between the water in plastic package and in aquarium. Then empty the water in plastic package out the aquarium and put the gold fishes in aquarium, at the same time, add a little salt so as to kill germs in water.
Second, make sure to give enough space for fishes in one aquarium. If there are so many fishes in one aquarium that they cannot breath enough oxygen.
Third, excessive feeding is strictly prohibited. Some people fear to hunger of fishes so that they will feed them several times one day. It will pollute the water quality if the surplus foods go mouldy. This is bad for gold fishes.
Forth, we should know that change the water frequently is not good for gold fishes. When will we change the water? There is no conclusion can be determined, but we can change it according to water quality. If looks muddy, change more or all; otherwise, change little. But remember that the changed water should have similar temperature with the original one if you decide to change part of the water in aquarium. The best way is to exchange for one third or one quarter one time.
Fifth, we had better put the aquarium in a place where can be sun for 1-2 hours a day for the ultraviolet can help disinfection. What’s more, due to photosynthesis, the color of gold fishes will look more brightly.
Sixth, please use finer filter and sand washing device. A finer filter helps us clear up the spoil goods from gold fishes or foods in the water and to back good environment to fishes; a finer sand washing device helps us to clear up dregs in sands at the bottom of water and reduce the pollution of aquarium.
The above advises just offer you to refer. Hope it can help you.
