The goldfish (Carassius auratus) Origin: The goldfish originally comes from China, but they are now bred all over the world. Care: Goldfish are pure freshwater fish. They live in ponds and other calm waters in which many plants grow. Many aquarists keep goldfish in an aquarium; a large aquarium should be available for them. At least 150L × 60W × 60H cm. Planting in the aquarium is rather difficult, as the goldfish nibble on the plants or pluck them out. It should also have a good pump with a current as the goldfish like to dig in the substrate and stir up a lot of dirt. Sand is best for the substrate as the goldfish sometimes swallow coarser gravel and could otherwise choke on it.The goldfish is suitable for keeping in a garden pond. The garden pond should be well structured and have a minimum depth of 100 cm for overwintering. If kept well in a pond, goldfish can reproduce very well. It is always important to know where to keep the young fish. The goldfish lives in groups. As they are purely cold-water fish, they are kept in species aquariums.There are now various breeding forms of goldfish, but also breeding forms that are not permitted. In addition, a goldfish must not be kept in a bowl – as we are led to believe in many films.These include: bubble eyes, telescope eyes or the celestial eye. There are also forms with a curved spine or with growths on the head.Among the breeding forms are the normal form or those with a veiltail. The normal form is suitable for the garden pond, the veiltail form less so as they usually cannot escape predators because they are slower swimmers. There are goldfish in various colours, the best-known colour variants are: Sarassa, Shubunkin or the Comet. Caution: Under no circumstances should you release the goldfish into public waters! Because the goldfish can survive in our areas and displace the native fish! Food: Goldfish are omnivores and feed, when kept in a garden pond, on fish food as well as mosquito larvae, water fleas, worms and aquatic plants. Occasionally you can also give them oatmeal, eggs or corn, which makes a welcome change.There are various different types of food for goldfish, whether flakes, granules or mixed food, there is something for everyone.

Minnow profileArea of origin:The minnow is native to clear, cool streams, rivers and lakes in Europe. It prefers oxygen-rich, gently flowing water.Species:In Central Europe mainly Phoxinus phoxinus, although there are several closely related species (e.g. Phoxinus septimaniae, Phoxinus ketmaieri).The species frequently offered in pet shops includeMinnow (Phoxinus phoxinus)Rainbow minnow (Notropis chrosomus)Gold minnow (Pimephales promelas 'Gold')Social behaviour:Minnows are peaceful, lively schooling fish. They form close shoals. Very active, swim a lot. Ideal for near-natural cold-water tanks. Good compatibility with gudgeons, bitterlings and whitefish.Keeping conditions:Clear, cool, oxygen-rich waterLight to medium currentGravel or sand bottomWell-planted or structurally varied tank edgesNo heating necessaryRegular water changes are importantBreeding:Breeding in an aquarium is possible, but demanding. Spawning time in spring. Eggs are spread over gravel or aquatic plants. High oxygen levels and spring conditions (temperature drop, current) encourage spawning. Parents must be removed after spawning.Special features:Ideal for cold-water aquariums or small pondsVery fond of swimming, needs a lot of spaceRobust fish species, but sensitive to warm waterBeautiful spawning colours in males (reddish fins, dark body)Conclusion:The minnow is an attractive, lively and very natural schooling fish for cold-water ponds. It displays harmonious behaviour in shoals, is robust and is ideal for near-natural aquaria or ponds - provided the water remains cool and oxygen-rich.If you have any questions or problems, our trained team at Zoo Roco is here to help.
