Preventing Bladder Disease In Goldfish

One of the simplest things I ever learnt about goldfish was a simple technique for preventing bladder disease by adding a few frozen peas to your fish tank. By taking this simple step you can reduce the chance of your favorite goldfish, becoming very ill.

Goldfish, if looked after, can live for a very long time if cared for properly. When deciding on a fish tank for your goldfish, stop and think how do you like to live? Is your goal in life to live in a tiny studio? Or would you prefer a large spacious house? Your pet goldfish is no different he or she has needs as well. A good rule of thumb is to allow 10 gallons of water per fish and more is better.

A goldfish's environment is as important to them as ours is to us, would you prefer to live in a place with no furniture? Do you sleep in a bed? These are just some of the questions that you can ask yourself, and apply the answers to creating a livable environment for your goldfish. Simple things like adding a selection of gravel and rocks to the bottom of your tank can greatly improve the life expectancy of your fish. A few plants and other objects can be found either at your local pet store or around your house or garden.

When adding items from your house or garden. Or if you're lucky enough to live by the ocean, "from the beach" make sure that that you sanitize the items before adding them to your fish tank. Otherwise, you could be creating more problems that you can imagine.
