Notes
| 1. | I'm sorry but I have to STRONGLY disagree with him here. I found that
my Goldfish were an excellent first fish for me. These are the fish that got me interested in the hobby and are low maitenance. You feed and do water changes and ta-da that's it! |
| 2. | WRONG. No fish should be kept in a bowl under atleast 5 gallons.
There would only be enough sufficient room then, for a single fish. You cannot fill a bowl full and also allow sufficient surface area. The fish will survive, but NOT thrive. |
| 3. | The temperature range for Betta Splendins is between 77-83F. I keep
both my tanks at 80F and all of my Bettas are quite happy. |
| 4. | This guy is obviously a Goldfish hater. I've never seen "feeder Goldfish
full of diseases or parasites" sold as pets. True, Goldfish like colder water, but that is why you keep them in species tanks. This is the reason they are not kept with tropicals. Not because they do not do well in lower oxygen levels. Just about all tropicals require some sort of air in the water, with the exception of the Anabantids. |
| 5. | These temperatures seem too extreme. It would mean that with these cold
water temps. you could put them in with Goldfish!!!! NOT. I would go with the higher temperatures described under the environment. |
| 6. | The correct Latin for the Tiger Barb is Barbus Tetrazona. |
