Overview

Canary Yellow Goldfish (Carassius auratus) brings bright yellow colour to a spacious coldwater setup. The supplied size is 5–8 cm; this is a juvenile size, not an indication of the adult space required. Goldfish can grow to 25–35 cm or more and live for many years.

Behaviour

Active, social swimmers that forage throughout the day. Allow long swimming runs and avoid crowded conditions.

Tank Size

A suitably filtered pond is often the best long-term home for single-tailed goldfish. For indoor housing, plan a very large aquarium around adult size: approximately 350 litres with a 150 × 60 cm footprint is a useful starting plan for two, with larger housing encouraged. Bowls and small novelty tanks are unsuitable.

Compatibility

Keep with compatible, similarly capable coldwater goldfish. Avoid mixing with tropical fish or slow fancy varieties that struggle to compete for food.

Diet

Use a balanced goldfish food with suitable vegetable foods for variety. Feed small portions and remove uneaten food.

Care

Provide strong biological filtration and aeration. Maintain stable coldwater conditions and avoid abrupt temperature changes. Outdoor transfer requires seasonal acclimatisation and a suitable pond; do not move warm-kept juveniles straight into cold winter water.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium. Check appetite, breathing and equipment daily; test water regularly and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Make regular partial water changes using conditioned, temperature-matched water.
