Freshwater Fish - Ryukin Goldfish, Assorted (Carassius auratus)
The Ryukin Goldfish has a curved backbone, a fat belly and long feathery
fins. It has a small, pointed mouth and the body is typically
triangular in shape. There is a distinct hump on the back immediately
behind the head. The Ryukin Goldfish comes in a variety of colors,
including the Red/White, Calico, Red/Black and Red.
All goldfish are members of the carp group and are generally quite
hardy. The Ryukin Goldfish will do well in a tank of 30 gallons of water
or more with a fine gravel bottom and hardy, cold water plants, as well
as backyard garden ponds of 180 gallons or more. Goldfish are diggers
and will scatter the fine sand onto leaves, injuring thin and less hardy
plants. Roots and well-rounded river rocks are a good addition to the
aquarium.
There appears to be a definite courtship ritual when Goldfish breed.
Breeding often results in up to 1,000 eggs, with fry hatching in five to
six days. The fry should be fed small pieces of live or prepared foods
designed for egg-laying fish.
Goldfish are omnivorous and will eat all types of dried and live foods.
Limit protein, however, to 30% of the diet. A Goldfish flake or pellet
food will provide these fish with the proper nutrition.
