Pearlscale Goldfish Update (Sept 2013)

About a month ago I posted about the Pearlscale goldfish I bought and promised to update when they have shown changes in their colorations and guess what, some of them already did!

This one was bronze colored and not only has it turned golden, it also has some bubbly piece of growth under both its eyes. I also have another with similar characteristics in the picture below.

I’m not sure whether they are going to grow into telescopic-eyed goldfish as I’ve never grown one before. I’ll just hope that these grow healthy so I could see how they will turn out to be in a few more months time.

Here are some of the other who have developed red markings on their big, round-bellied bodies.

Sorry for the poor cam quality.

They are now transferred to a another box pond, formerly the home of my zebra danios and mollies, together with other types of goldfish mainly black moors, orandas, calico ryukins and also a few rosy barbs.

By the way, these Pearlscale goldfish and their fellow pond mates are up for sale on my Facebook pet page MAGS-Pets so if your interested, just click on the link and drop me a message. Thanks for visiting my blog and reading my post. Will be back soon with another blog post! Open-mouthed smile

Happy pet-keeping!

Why is regular water change important?

Should we be wasting our time doing regular water change? Is it really that important? The real question here is why shouldn't we? Doing regular water changes is the basic way for ensuring that the environment our aquatic pets live in is not only aesthetically pleasing to our eyes but most important of all, is fit for the general well-being of our aquatic pets and their surroundings. Some beginners in the aquatic pet hobby think that the only reason why we need to do water change is for water clarity. A clear water as a matter of fact doesn’t mean that your tank water is clean. It is just the same as a drinking water. Being clear doesn’t mean that it is fit for drinking. It could contain harmful chemical which are not visible to the naked eye but are unhealthy for you. Filtration systems especially those high-end expensive types can help keep the tank environment in optimal condition but this doesn't mean that we no longer need to do water changes in our tank.
