Goldfish Care
Picking the right tank for a goldfish is critical to proper goldfish care. Traditionally we think of goldfish as living in bowls. Sadly, goldfish that live in bowls don’t usually live very long!
Did you know a common goldfish can grow to over a foot long and live to be 10 years or more? Can you imagine a 12″ goldfish living in a tiny bowl on your counter?
