How to choose a better goldfish in the store?

When buying goldfish, you must choose a relatively large goldfish, the big goldfish has a strong resistance, and those chubby goldfish can also be selected, fat means that you can eat, and if you can eat, it means that the goldfish is very healthy.

Aquarists who raise goldfish for the first time always don't know how to choose goldfish with good quality when they arrive at the flower and bird fish market, or they often encounter such a situation: when they choose, they feel that the quality is not bad, but when they get home, they find such and such flaws and regret it. Below, Yamazawa will illustrate the parts that are easy to ignore when choosing goldfish for all aquarists to learn from.

Here Yamazawa does not talk about how to choose healthy and disease-free goldfish, we mainly talk about the selection of quality.

However, the dorsal fin of the goldfish indirectly reflects the health and mental state of the goldfish, the dorsal fin is towering, indicating good health and mental state, and the dorsal fin is retracted, indicating that the state is sluggish and not good.

A towering dorsal fin indicates that the goldfish is in good health and good spirits.

You may have encountered such a situation, at the first sight of the fish market saw a good fish, impulsively invited home, for fear of being bought by others first, when you get home and take a closer look, you find that the pectoral fin is large and small, crying. The pectoral fin is the most neglected part of the fish when buying fish on impulse, so remember not to look at the body shape and tail shape in vain.

The pectoral fin is a part that is easily overlooked when buying and selecting goldfish.

Next, let's talk about the tail fin, in general, most fish species are best with four tails (but not 100% absolute), and the three tails and cherry tails are ** type. Among the characteristics of inferior fish, especially Lanshou, there is a word called "carrying a gun with thorns", which means thorny tail, which is not desirable. Even if it is four at the beginning and the end, there are advantages and disadvantages, which are illustrated one by one with the following diagram.

Most species of goldfish are preferably four-tailed.

Tips and precautions for buying and selecting goldfish.

1. Choose the timing.

Goldfish are different from tropical fish, they are generally bred outdoors in fish farms, and after thousands of years of breeding, they have established their own biological clock, and spawn from February to June every spring, depending on the region. Generally, in September to November is the best period for goldfish to be marketed, the goldfish in this period has been 3-6 months old, and some species characteristics can be highlighted, and the fading has been completed, with preliminary ornamental characteristics. In July and August, you can see 2-4 year old breeding fish that have been eliminated from the fish farm, and goldfish from the next year, and there is no shortage of high-quality ones.

However, due to the high temperature, it is not conducive to the long-distance transportation of goldfish, so the amount of ** is less.

2. Select the variety.

Depending on your personal preference, you can choose from dozens of varieties available. However, it is best to understand the differences between the various species before choosing, which is beneficial for raising goldfish. For example:

Due to the large variation, short intestine and clumsy swimming, the ball pearl has many strict requirements for the environment, and needs to be raised in clear water and shallow water, and the feed is required to be excellent and easy to eat. Blister goldfish are not suitable for polyculture with other goldfish, and are kept in bare tanks without any ornaments to avoid blister breakage. For beginners who are learning to raise goldfish, you can start by raising goldfish that are easy and cheap.

Such as: Wenjin (Liujin), dragon eye, etc.

3. Choose a good product

Although Chinese goldfish have been selected for thousands of years, they are still too short for a species. Therefore, many goldfish varieties are not very stable, and the yield rate of individual new varieties is a few tens of thousands. A goldfish is kept at home for months or even years, and choosing a good goldfish can get more beautiful enjoyment.

The general principle is to choose goldfish with obvious characteristics, free swimming, well-proportioned body shape, and no disabilities.

As long as it's not a diseased fish, it's a rebuff.

It's all easy to raise. It's hard to say, it's a problem with water.

Fish farming starts with water.

How good the water is, first of all, the equipment should be as complete as possible, and the water should be changed regularly.

Choose fish, choose lively, no obvious pathology, and you get what you pay for. ** The high point, the fish is also rarely a problem.

It is recommended that you go to the goldfish bar to take a look, there are novice precautions, goldfish breeding methods and so on. Learn more before you go fish farming.

Spirit, active activity, no injury, good tail, good color.

<> buy small goldfish and go to a physical store to buy it. Fish bought online are transported long distances and are difficult to survive, while fish bought on the roadside do not guarantee quality. The baby goldfish that I bought back should be raised in water first.

Don't replace the freshly connected tap water directly, leave it in the sun for two days before you can use it. Don't put them in the tank immediately after getting the water, it's best to put them in and soak them together with the bag for half a day to let them gradually get used to the temperature in the tank.

Generally, there is no ** small koi, there is no pure yellow goldfish, and the yellow one is either a very red carrot-colored red goldfish, or a golden small koi.
