Dear friend. even i have a big fish bowl and my gold fish died the next day when i got it to my house :-(, but my dad told me to get one more immediatly bcoz the other gold fish may feel alonely so went immediatly to shop and purchased one gold fish and now they got a pair and too my surprise they both have survived. as per my aquariam shop guy, he told me to feed once in a day with 2seeds for each fish. i.e. if you have 4 fishes you need to feed 8 seeds. i change the water for every 20 days and when i clean the bowl i will keep in mind that i will use atleast one cup on old aquarim water in it, this will help the fishes to feel that they are in their own house. sometime i color the water to blue, red and yellow, this will really help the fishes and me to see a change on the fish bowl, i dont use any filter for my fish bowl, i just use oxygen thats it. and one more thing i will not switch on the oxygen for 24hrs. i will only allow it for 8 to 10 hrs in the nite. touch wood, upto now none of my fishes died.
two small tea spoon food is more than enough for 5-8 fishes. give this diet twice a day. every fortnight u should take out fishes from aquarium to other fresh water and then clean it completly. afterwards u could transfer back fishes to aquarium.
Friends Even my auarium wala asked me to feed fish three times a day ( early morning afternoon and evening ) but 20 - 30 seeds, yes, i mean it .............in that 30 seeds only two fishes ( white gold but it will look in pink colour with big eyes) will eat entire fud, 2- shark fishes , they are not eating at all, very very rarely they will eat 1 or 2 seeds once in 5 days......iam :-( And, these tow pink fishes, they will ask me for food very often or whenever they see me or my hubby......( those who have fish tank will surely know this, they will come near our side and ask for fud)........i sometimes feel bad to feed them all the time since that may affect their stomach, but pavama erukum i feel pity for them and feed them once i went to exhibition in VALLLUVAR KOTTAM , its a PET AND BIRDS SHOW , so there were lot of Auqarium stalls also........they have all things related to fish like fish tank in diff sizes and ranges, fish food, fish medicines, tank decorative items etc etc......they told me IF THE FISH WANT TO EAT THE ENTIRE TIN OF FOOD IN 3 DAYS , JUST FEED THEM, NOTHING WRONG ...............iam :idontgetit::confused2:
