What is the best temperature in a small goldfish aquarium?
I bought four small goldfish temperature today began at 82 degrees 84 and then the water was hot when I touched I am not sure if the light is making hot water or heating tanks comes with the tank do not want them face up in the mourning
Well, first, for goldfish, the ideal temperature is 70 degrees. Your tank is too waaaayyy hot. You need to reduce the temperature, but must be done slowly to avoid stressing the fish. Slowly turn the heater gradually until it reaches 70 degrees. Turn down to 75 now, and in the morning, down to 70. You can put some ice in a bag and put in the tank to help reduce the heat, but do not let them touch the ice the fish and take out from time to time to curb the drop in temperature to reduce the shock. Then, for four goldfish, even minimum, necessary to have a tank of 40 gallons (10 liters of water minimum per fish), and I bet you do not. If not, you need to get a bigger tank immediately or that the Fish do not live a week. Not sure if the pet store would take back in exchange for a larger, but it can not hurt to ask. If you can not afford afford to buy a larger aquarium, then you can buy a plastic container until you can afford to have a larger aquarium. The great job. While a filter is important, the most important thing right now is that these fish are air. You need an air pump that pumps 10 times the amount of water in the tank. Therefore, if you have a 40 gallon tank or container, you need an air pump that pumps 400 gph. You do not have time for the water cycle, so for now, use bottled spring water. It is not distilled water, spring water. Get some Stress-Coat and a pH stabilizer for goldfish. Should correspond to 7.0 Ph. Read this link on water bike, so you can get water from these fish in the appropriate parameters or die. This site is the best on the web for the care of goldfish. Read the articles. Check out everything on this site to learn how to care for your fish. Goldfish are not easy to care for a fish, but fish are one of the most enjoyable and fun is not if they are happy and healthy. Good luck and have fun!
