Today I got new gold fishes and since I dont know much about them or say I didnt because I just researched some, I will like to know things I am confused about. What is the best temperature for your fishes, should it be cool water. By the way how do you know if your fishes are tropical fishes and like cool temperature water? When feeding your fishes, how many servings should you give them a day? if you feed them frozen vegetables or spinach do you cut them real small or let them do it? something else can you automatically know if your fishes are visually impaired? Guys I know there too much questions, but even if you answer one that will do. I just dont want to do something wrong! Please help and thank you so much!!!
It seems clear to me what I am asking there are several questions here, if your not going to answer them right dont even bother.
 
i don't think you need to heat your aquarium, like fancy tropical fishes need. I have three goldfish and I've had them for three years(still living), and I never worried much about temperature. Just remember to put in a few drops of water conditioner every time you change the water. I feed my goldfish and koi fish flakes. I've heard that really big koi fish eat slices of bread. Dont feed handfuls of food, just a small pinch of goldfish food. The key to having your goldfish live as long as possible(usually ten years) is to clean the tank properly. their gills release a lot of harmful toxins, and you know, they release their own wastes in their home.
 
I dont know how to tell if they are tropical or cold water fish. if they are cold water then put in an air pump so the water is oxygenated and that sit really. just keep the tank clean and when you clean it theres a chemical you can put in that treats the water cos its just come from a tap which isnt really that good for a fish. The ammount of food you give them depends on the size of your fish. feed them twice a day. if you're giving froxen vegetables you probably need to chop it up so they can eat it but they are pretty good at pulling leaves apart probs chop them up aswell though, or put a plant in that you can get from a pet shop, you'll be able to tell if they're really hungry if they start devouring the plant, normally they just take a nibble now and again.
 
dear as long as the water is room temp they will be fine.Gold fish are not really tropical but some are. I take you have just regular goldfish. Go to your local pet store they have a supply of goldfish food and you are to feed only once a day. Do not feed frozen veggies or spinach its not good for them. There is no way to tell if your fish are visually impaired. In the long run plz go to your local pet shop and get a book on raising goldfish as well as their food. Goldfish are the easiest to raise. good luck.
