No aggressive behaviour. I have a 15m X 3m swimming pool, it is 2 foot deep at one end and four foot deep at the other. It is stocked with dozen of the small mosquito eating fish and has a number of water plants About a six weeks ago I introduced six comet gold fish, all fine until a week ago when I saw them chasing each other around the pool, two days later one died.
This has happened three times now, they chase each other around the pool next day one dead. I have seen the same behavior, usually larger fish chasing a smaller one until it dies. Would like to understand this. I only have two. My kids have an 8 year old comet in an indoor aquarium. We now keep it in a 55 gallon. It has a fantastic personality. It responds instantly to a double finger drag on the glass which means food is coming.
It fluffs, shimmies and parades when my kids put their heads near the glass. My beautiful comet of 14 years lived his life in a 10 gallon tank and just died two years ago, shortly after finally making room for a 30 gal. Can you advise what Bloat is? I usually feed her once every 3 days, but I read somewhere that I should feed her everyday?? I turn on the filter for one hour and a half everyday, and I keep the lights on for 12 hours a day.
When I turn on the filter, my fish starts running in front of the air and allowing it to push her towards the tank walls.
She also kinda swims veeery quickly most of the time in an aimless way sometimes. I also noticed she is putting small decorative rocks inside her mouth and spitting it out. I need to know, is she stressed?? Is she gonna die?? What should I do to help her?

I have a beautiful rectangular pond filled with water lilies at my apartment complex here in Bangkok. I estimate it is around 13, gallons. There are no pets allowed. I walk past the pretty architecturally designed pond every day for 4 years and have always wanted to sneak some fish into it. Anyway, about 3 months ago I commenced Operation Fishy Fingers! I went to my local market an bought a bag of 50 comets that were about 2 inches long.

More From Goldfish. Can Goldfish Eat Bloodworms? Everything You Need to Know! Unless you have a cherry-picker handy, there's no way to avoid spraying upward. My choice is to spray with a garden hose with a solution mixer attaches to the end of the hose and use a stiff brush on a long extendable pole to scrub the siding. It's more work but gives better results without damaging the siding. Stain, which soaks into the wood, rather than paint, which lies on top, may be the way to go with farm buildings if at all possible.
Modern paint creates a hard surface that traps moisture which eventually causes the paint to fail. Old fashioned whitewash and milk paints barns were coated with a mixture of lime, clay, milk and blood, hence the red color allowed the wood to breathe and the moisture to evaporate, and soaked into the wood. Old fashioned linseed oil also was used to soak into and protect the wood, especially when it was covered with true oil based paint.
Modern oil based paints are synthetics, and don't seem to soak in as well as the old-time treatments did. And a good scrape or sanding can be a good idea before you prime. As long as you aren't dealing with lead paint. Brown at cow height sounds practical for whatever color you choose. Clean feeding! No-waste mixes and sunflower hearts are a good start, seed trays below feeders also help.
But yes she has a valid point: an unnatural population of birds constantly around feeders is prime pickings for air-born and respiratory disease among the birds. Thus the importance of maintaining clean feeders. Poly-lumber and vinyl bird feeders help reduce the spread of disease because mold and bacteria can not settle into cracks as with wooden feeders. But for the most part, it only takes one new visitor infected bird for disease to spread. That maybe true but I don't know what you don't know.
This was my first attempt at anything like this. I just heard about a scribe on Friday while watching a YouTube how to video. This wood was cut on Tuesday and assembled yesterday.

They grow very fast and they start breeding soon too. In other words, you don't need to buy any more. They will soon fill the pond. Happy ponding, Scott. My baby goldfish have grown about 4 inches in two seasons in Zone 7. Frequent water changes are required for goldfish.
This is especially important for fry when large numbers are often kept in crowded conditions for the first few weeks. Another equally important reason for water changes is Goldfish produce hormones that inhibit growth. This is why there is the widely held belief that Goldfish only grow to the size of their container. What actually happens is the build up of growth inhibiting hormones stop the fish, and any other Goldfish in the same container, from growing any bigger.
Goldfish need high oxygen levels to enable them to process the large amounts of food needed to grow quickly. The water temperature for fry and younger fish can be higher than for adults.
Temperatures around 75 o F 24 o C can be used for hatching the eggs and maintained for as long as maximum growth rates are required. Some breeders keep metallic scaled fish at 80 o F Goldfish have huge appetites. It has been claimed fry will eat their own body-weight of food a day if enough is provided. Most hobbyists don't provide enough food for fry to grow at their maximum rate which is critical for the first month. Fry need to be fed live food for the protein.
