Common
questions.
Quick answers about goldfish. No question is silly, so if yours isn't here, ask us.
Can goldfish live in a bowl?
No. Goldfish grow larger than many people expect and produce a lot of waste, so they need a filtered aquarium or pond with plenty of room.
Do goldfish need a heater?
Goldfish are coldwater fish and generally don’t need a heater, but they do need good filtration and regular water changes to stay healthy.
Can fancy goldfish go in a pond?
Common and comet goldfish are well suited to ponds. Many fancy varieties are slower swimmers and are usually better kept in an aquarium.
Can I check what’s in stock before I visit?
Yes. Fresh stock arrives every week and fish can sell quickly, so a listing here doesn’t guarantee a fish is in store today. Call (02) 6686 0002 or send an enquiry and we’ll let you know what’s currently available.
