Fish - Goldfish Questions


Expert: Paul Hotaling - 11/30/2006

Question
Why do goldfish sleep with their eyes open?

Why don't goldfish blink?

How can a goldfish be a pet in your home

Answer
Hi Maria!

Here are some answers!

Goldfish Don't Have eyelids so they can't close their eyes ever!

A goldfish is a great pet!
You will need to do a partial water change every week.  Maybee 30% or so.  This water needs to be treated with a conditioner, like stresscoat, the one I use.  Feed them 1-2 times a day a few flakes each.  DO NOT OVERFEED!

Hope this helps,
Paul
