Goldfish People

[Bloo]

also i need to rummor proven or disproved here

i was told that a goldfish's slim coat has been known to coat other non-goldfish at the gills and suffocate them, is this true?

Some further reading for you in these old threads

Answer: no - it's not proven or scientifically documented anywhere.

Goldfish have been known to be able to reach temperatures out of this world! well not really but up to something like 105oC.

105 degrees celcius? Water boils at 100 degrees celcius. I think they'd get a bit hot. You probably meant fahrenheit.

mmmmm....goldfish soup!

highfire, if the goldie your talking about is the one in your avatar, it won't last in a pond. he's a pearlscale isn't he?

fancies are too slow a swimmer and come winter will have to come back inside if a heron hasn't got them in that time. they're more delicate than commons.

Hi catxx

Thanks for replying to my post.
No, the goldie in my tank is a standard goldie. My avatar is Pimples (called so by my son because he looks like he's covered in pimples!) and you're right, he is a pearscale but I'm afraid he died some months ago. I've kept the picture because he was so cute!
But thanks for your reply and also the info you provided.
