Fantail goldfish are beautiful and distinctive freshwater fish known for their double-tail fins and graceful swimming. Here are essential care requirements for keeping Fantail Goldfish in your aquarium:
Tank Size: Minimum 20 gallons for a single fish, with an additional 10-20 gallons per additional fish.
Temperature: Keep water temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal health.
Diet: Feed a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods such as bloodworms or brine shrimp.
Tank Setup: Provide a spacious tank with smooth gravel or sand substrate and ample swimming space. Decorate with plants and decorations that won't snag their delicate fins.
Water Quality: Maintain excellent water quality with regular water changes (20-30% weekly) and strong filtration to keep ammonia and nitrite levels low.
