Before purchasing gold fish you need to know ...


"Gold Fish" are beautiful fish that will return your love and attention with its beauty ... when they are used to you, will greet you each time you come near aquarium.
The truth is that they have much higher resistance than other fish but therefore they don’t need to suffer from all the conditions that significantly shorten their life. People keep them in a jar or tanks of only a few liters ... sad that such a wonderful creature spends their life in a so small space.
They have a lifetime of 10 years (and others even more) and average (I read somewhere) years that have get to live in small aquarium is only 3 years!
They can be in the jar but in it they only suffer, this would mean it could be only a temporary home for them.
For those who don’t know, these fish require much greater volume of space than other fish because they pollute the water much more.
This all leads to the conclusion that they need a good filter and at least 10 liters of water per fish while they are still babies and later they should have much more.
Also gills they have are sensitive to chlorine and daily changes of water can literally kill them if the water is not prepared properly.
They like to nibble and eat live plants so it is necessary to put in an aquarium "hard" plant that is not easy to chew ..
In short ... they are beautiful and durable fish but in conditions for the physiognomy of their own bodies. They need space and clean water, a lot of attention and you will in return get a friend who will be glad when he sees you through the glass ...

Measure the length and height of your dog to make him long enough and a high enough box. The easiest creation is one of wooden panels.


Front and the back of it cut in the shape of the house with a peak that has an angle of 90 degrees or in another form, at will. Width of side parts should be at least 2 times bigger than the entrance. On the front draw large enough entrance for a dog and cut it out. Entry should be on the side so that the dog has a place to protect him from the wind.

The first symptoms, signs quickly appear: vomiting, salivation, apathy, diarrhea, mucous membrane floods, impaired heart rate, weakness and cramps. First aid should be provided as soon as possible, that means giving a salt solution (1 tea spoon of salt in 100ml water) through the mouth, best done with syringes, to give a lot of water to dilute the poison, 1% brazen-sulphate can be given.
