I jut bought 4 goldfish yesterday
Two are orange and are Fantails. The other two are black and are Black Moors.
They are only young so they are still quite small.
I think they might be bored.
They have blue pebbles and a background as well as two real plants and a small artificial plant.
The tank is the right size for the fish but do you think they need something else to keep them entertained other than a couple of plants?
Also I was wondering how you tell whether they are male or female.
Goldfish keep one another company, they play games and chase one another. The extra plants would probably overcrowd it if you already have plants in the tank.
Goldfish like bubbles too. Funny I know, but you should put a background on the tank and get a long bubble wand to fix in the middle of the tank. They'll love it you'll see.
To tell male from female you should do a search on google 'sexing goldfish' or 'how to tell male goldfish from female goldfish'. Read anything you can get your eyes on. The pet store has all kinds of books on them.

As for if it will crowd the tank, will you cn get the 'toy' and observe hoe the fish react to it. DO they stay away form it, do they move less? stuff like that. [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]
