i guess goldfishes are better best friends for us humans compared to any other pets in this world. first they are not very expensive secondly they are not very expensive when it comes to feeding them. and they are notreally hard to live y cause they are not noisy at all.
the best thing about goldfish is that we humans could tell or talk to goldfish without hassle at all. i could really say that goldfish are better pets than any other animals. i don't say that we shouldn't get any other pets but if you want a peaceful life or a quiet life then better get a goldfish.
i repeat get a goldfish for your home or kids

I have had goldfish in an indoor tank and an outside pond and they just don't seem to live very long, I used to test the water and everything but then when I put them outside and I was told not to clean the pond at all they lived a bit longer and you can't cuddle a goldfish so I would prefer to have a cat....

You do nee to clean the water some because the gold fish cannot get out of the water to go use the bathroom but rather just go where they are. Do you think that we could be healthy if we just went to the bathroom where ever we were and just left it there? No and we should not expect fish or any other animals to do so either. I tell people to take water from the bottom of the tank (or pond) so that you take these "droppings out. This is the way to "flush the toilet" for your fish sand give them clean water. Make sure to get rid of the chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals from the water that you put back in .

Hello,wild_flow! eight red gold fishes and one black gold fish is the right combination to keep in an aquarium in the house.it is no doubt cheaper to maintain than any other pet animals.it not only gives pleasure to watch but also reduces tensions and enhances the eye sight.according to feng sui keeping aquarium with gold fishes serve as silent affirmations of wealth and prosperity and also attract beneficial energy.fishes symbolize a successful career.so it is better to maintain aquarium in the house and lead peaceful life.thank you and be happy.

Goldfish can make great pets as long as you take care of them right. Most people think that it is alright to keep a goldfish (or two or more) in a "goldfish bowl. A goldfish should have at least 30 gallons for the first one and 10 gallons for each additional goldfish. They should be fed a variety of foods (if you could eat only one food what kind would it be?). No one food is complete (I have abut 16 or 18 different kinds of foods that I feed to my tropical fishes). A lot of people think that since the water is clear that it is safe for the fish, (sulfuric acid is crystal clear but would you drink it), You need to do weekly water changes of about 10 to 25%. The water that you take out of a freshwater aquarium can be used to water your house or garden plants and make sure to not put water in that has chlorine unless you neutralize it and ammonia if they are in the yap water., Don't change the filter the same day that you do a water change or you will get rid of the cycling bacteria.
Yes you can tell them all of your secrets because they will not let any one else know what you say. Treat them well and you might have them for up to 35 years.

I believe that goldfishes is a best friends for humans.They are beautiful and lovely.But as for the best pet.I'm afraid I can't agree with you.every pet has their particular characters.Some other pets just like dogs and cats is like by many people.Comparing to goldfish,they are more active.I think diffent people have their own best pets.Nevertheless,I do like goldfishes.:)
