Norman is blue in Tuesday’s picture, isn’t he. Icy cold! And he really might be chilly especially if the water temperature is below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Goldfish are happiest swimming in water between 62 and 75 degrees. If the water is too cold, they will slow down and not move or swim much; if the water is too warm, bacteria and more algae grows so they can become sick.
Because goldfish are cold blooded, their body temperature rises or falls to be the same as the water temperature. So it is important not to dump new water into their bowl. Instead fill a container with water, drop in a bit of water conditioner (to remove chlorine and other chemicals) and then leave the water container beside the fishbowl overnight. That give the water time to reach the same temperature as water already in the bowl. If you don’t your goldfish could die from the shock of the difference in water temperatures.

Kelp is a kind of seaweed. Goldfish, like Norman, scarf it up—and anything green (so never never never drop green crayons in your fishbowl.) And, “because goldfish have no stomachs, they are constantly on the lookout for food. This means that goldfish will eat algae wherever they find it – off the sides of your tank, off decorations and plants, and off the gravel on the bottom of your tank.” -Lisbdnet.com

Just to be clear, when Norman wrote “small fry” he was not talking about the last crispy fried potato in a packet. “Small Fry” is what we call baby goldfish! And a group of goldfish is called a “Troubling.”
Do you think a goldfish troubling would be troubling to a shark? Or a treat?
