JBL Goldfish Paradise®
Goldfish aquarium type JBL Goldfish Paradise®
This aquarium is a beautiful home for eight lively veiltail/fantail Goldfish! The fish become tame within a short time and will eat out of your hand. Veiltails/Fantails are very attractive fish and are very popular with children.
Goldfish and their various breeds, such as veiltails/fantails, belong to the most popular fish of all! Children and adults love their lively motion and their peaceful nature. Goldfish can be easily kept and are relatively undemanding. But they shouldn’t be kept in a too small aquarium and certainly NOT in round bowls. According to the German animal protection act this is not even allowed. But in aquariums of about 100 cm length smaller veiltail/fantail goldfish will feel very comfortable and grow healthily. Even if goldfish regard plants as food, the Anubias pictured is so robust that it should be able to withstand their eating attempts. It may happen that veiltails occasionally nibble at single leaves of the fast growing waterweed. However this doesn’t harm the plant and it contributes to the healthy nutrition of the fish. In addition, living aquatic plants are vital for the biological structure of the aquarium.
Modelled on nature
Since goldfish are cultivated varieties of the Crucian carps, the carp habitat can serve as a model. These fish like to live, as goldfish do, in stagnant waters or in waters with a gentle current, partly full of vegetation and partly free for swimming. These animals are very sociable and should never be kept singly.
