Goldfish are a great starter fish to recommend for ponds and aquariums. The Black Oranda Goldfish has a dark black color with hints of gold on its scales. They can be distinguished by their large "hood" that covers their head. They are very hardy and will eat just about anything that is fed to them. Like most goldfish, the Black Oranda will get quite large and will need a large aquarium or pond when full grown. They are considered diggers, so use caution when adding plants because they can get uprooted. They will eat just about any pellet or flake that you offer, however, be sure the food has vegetable foods in it. Freshwater food with vegetables will help prevent swim bladder problems.

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.

My goldfish is losing its colour, it gets lots of sunlight (but not too much) and have regular clean outs of the tank. The other goldfish is sticking to its colour
Hello, as I have been observing my new baby oranda goldfish, two out of the four I have received four days ago spend MOST of their time at the bottom of the tank, all four babies live in a 37 gallon aquarium together. When it is mealtime, all four of them eat, then the two go back and sit at the bottom of the tank, I have checked the water multiple times in the last few days, and everything is great. The temperature is great, and everything is in order. I am not sure what to do, thank you.
several of my pond goldfish have developed these growths. They are not in distress and feeding and behaving normally. I wondered if you had any idea what they could be. Vic, Clacton
My gold fish is orange and it has multiple tiny white balls growing on two different parts of my fish. What can it be? How will this effect the other fish? Is it contagious?
