Chinese silver crucian as an object for breeding allowed a large number of species of fish known to us called Golden Fish: Fanochvost, Supbukunkin, Comet, Riukin, Ranking, Bubbleglaz, Pearl, Lionogol, Waulehel, Butterfly, Tosakin, Pompon, Panda, Lion's Rank , Oranda, Shukin, Izumo Nankin Goldfish, Vakin, Red Hat, etc.

Goldfish undemanding to the content, but it is desirable to contain them in a spacious aquarium based on the calculation of 1 cm of the length of the body of fish per 1 liter of water. It should be noted that the golden fish has a large rounded and low body on the basis of this aquarium for goldfish preferably will be low, but quite wide, as for example, two together folded cube.
Lighting for goldfish should be quite bright, and the recommended water temperature can vary widely with 18-26 ° degrees, hydrochemical parameters: DGH up to 20 °, pH 7.0 ... 7.8. Sexual maturity Gold fish reaches by year.
In the open reservoir, the goldfish can grow up to 35 cm, in the aquarium under good conditions of content up to 15 cm, and the length of the duration of these fish from some sources: short-tested views of up to 15 years, long-tempered up to 40, however, by 8 years of life, goldfish are lost by the ability multiply.
Diseases
Gold fish are cold enough. They are not afraid to reduce the temperature of the water to 16 ° degrees and resistant to diseases caused by the hyrochion of fish. Golden fish have persistent immunity and are not uncommon when you can observe how close to healthy gold fish are "bend" from ichthyophthyriosis of the swords.
Compatibility
Goldfish peaceful. However, the aggressiveness of these fish can be caused in relation to small species, when, following its natural instincts, large fish hunt for small. This must be taken into account and contain large individuals in a separate aquarium or in general, but only without the presence of small fish. It should be noted that goldfish are slow and that the luxurious view of their fins does not suffer to keep with gold fish not recommended Sumatran barbuses.
Feed and feeding
Goldfish are constantly in search of food they are soaked in the soil and raise from the bottom. In an aquarium with goldfish, it is necessary to install a mechanical filter for water purification from suspension. Goldfish are omnivores and besides favorite live feed: Moth, Coretra, Small rainworms, they are happy to eat and vegetable: specially cooked porridge, well washed bread, ore. Of dry foods: Daphny and Gammarus, and from artificial: meat minced meat, as well as special food produced by industry.
Aquarium plants for goldfish
Aquarium goldfish are always in search of food and, if there are plants in the aquarium with soft leaves, they will not mind them to enjoy. In aquarium with goldfish, it is necessary to grow plants with solid leaves and a strong root system: echinodorus, aponoghethon, cryptocorine, etc.

Priming
The pebble of a large or medium size is best suited as a soil, but not the sand, which they will easily steal, raising from the bottom or dug the roots of the plants. So that goldfish do not dig under plants it is necessary to close the roots around the stem with flat large pebbles (barefoot).

Reproduction
When I did not have a separate aquarium, I kept goldfish in 150 liters with a common aquarium. Having bought in the pet store the young voualehvostov in the number of four pieces, I continued to grow them in the general aquarium. When the fish grew up and they went for the second year they began to spawn.
Of the four gold fish grown by me, three male and one female were among them. Since for the spawning of goldfish on one female, there may be enough and one male of the remaining two males, I sold. In order not to pump off the spawning, I embeded a female in 50 liters of spawning with the size of the sides: W 30 cm, d 60 cm, 35 cm.
Spawning
A few days later the female gained caviar and in her swelling the abdomen it was clear that she was ready for spawning. In order to lower in the spawning of carbonate stiffness and before letting the male to the female half the volume of water in the spawning, I replaced with a soft water. As a protective mesh, I used a matted synthetic thread, which pressed the stones to the bottom of the aquarium.
Synthetic filament safety net
After the spawning, the manufacturers replanted back to the overall aquarium, and the compressor left the included. Caviar from gold fishes sticky. Approximately three days at water temperature around 22-24 ° degrees appeared larvae. A couple of days they hung on the walls of the spawning and the grid, then started to swim and eat.
Start feed
As a starting feed, it is best to use "live dust". But it is possible to get zooplankton in spring or summer, and then if there are such reservoirs where it is found. Good results are given: Artemia's crustaceans and Moin Daphnia, cultivated at home. In the extreme case, you can do and boiled yolk.
I described the feeding of the fry of the fry in the article "How to feed the fry of the yolk", and how to breed the live food of Daphnia in the publication "Food for Dafnia Fish". To maintain cleanliness in the increased aquarium, you need to plant an ampouillion snails in it.
The smaller fry can be translated on artificial feed: a ribbed beef heart, continuing to feed the living daphneus or auoforus. Goldfish is very prolific, it is considered that one female with a size of 10 to 15 cm can take up to 5000 eggs.
It is impossible to grow all the fry at home so that it is necessary to leave such a number of fry so that it corresponds to the recommended volume of the increased aquarium, and the younger needs to be periodically resettled on additional aquariums.
