2 fishies

Right so we got these 2 goldfish in the house. It was given by my aunt. We still dont have a name for it. It’s a black and a orange-white one. The black one is particularly really fat. He/she likes to eat. lol. The orange one doesnt eat alot. Today my mom changed the water and I dont know how thats gonna be like since its the first time we are changing the water ourselves. I added some liquid which get rids of the chlorine and I hope I put enough. I really dont want them dying anytime soon. I dont think the orange one likes the new water. For a moment there, it was just float at the top not doing anything. I’ve been taking pics of it but they keep on moving that I cant get a decent non-blurry shot. If anyone has any ideas on goldfish names, suggest it here. Also I dont know if theyre male/female. I’m sure theyre both the same sex otherwise they wouldve mated by now. :lol:

    When you change the water, you should change it like 10-20% at a time. Never go though large changes at one time. As it stresses out fish. Do some research online on fish care. Good luck with caring for your goldfish, from my understanding, with goldfish you should change the water every two days as they poop alot and you dont want the pH balance to alter, and must always stay at 7, which is normal. I never named my fish when I had them, only one had a name though and it was Baby fish, as I bread him from two other fish and he was the only one who lived.

    Goldfish are awesome! I used to have some, but they died after a short while. They were from.. Walmart. Anyway, I hope you have fun with your new pets!

    Oooh! Goldfish are sometimes fun to keep. Teehee. Better than other “animals,” I reckon! I wonder how you find out whether or not it’s male or female as well… tell me once you find out LOL.

    :] I love fish. I wish you luck in caring for them. They’re a fascinating sort of creature… so beautiful and graceful.

    I’m sorry, but I can’t think of any names for the little guys. :[

    Have a terrific week. :grin:

    Goldfish! There awsome. Hmmm ya I hope you put enough. That would suck if they died. Though I don’t think they will.

    We used to have goldfish in my house. We gave them to our friends who have a pond. We had them for about four years. Up intil the end all five of them survived, then recently they started dying off. We had two left when we gave them away. They got real big.
    I called mine (before it died) Reese’s (cause it looked like a peanut butter cup. Lol.
    Now my boyfriend is a fish tank cleaner. So he deals with cleaning fishtanks all the time. If you are interested I’ll get his opion on the water, and what not for you.

    Aww I want fish so bad. I’m trying to talk my roommate into it because we can’t have a real pet! Good luck naming them. I’m not creative so I won’t even attempt to help you name them!

    I used to own a lot of fishes, but I’m a bad pet owner, and they all died. You seem like a very responsible one! And goldfishes are way cute
