Why do goldfish die?

The bass eat them. Then, we eat the bass.

Goldfish in Blenders Spark Outrage

I was thinking someone should do a sequel; a piece which looks identical but in which the blenders are rewired so that the start button, rather than turning on the blender, will give a significant but harmless shock to anyone who pushes it.

Think that would be a good piece of performance art?

Why do goldfish die?

It's their nature.

Well, my goldfish used to die because they had the misfortune of being placed in a tank with three Piranha.

An easier way to prevent the worries of senseless goldfish deaths is to put an Oscar in the tank.

Our goldfish really don't do well when herons and raccoons pull them out of the pond for a closer look.

Why do goldfish die?

They actually commit suicide because they are bored.

This article is pretty much accurate, but I positively loathe keeping goldfish in an aquarium. They are hardier than most tropical fish, and if you don't buy the $1.19 specials they aren't inbred or sickly.

But they are FILTHY! Goldfish actually seem to excrete more than they eat . . . within a day or so there will be nasty tubular-shaped goldfish deposits all over the place. They clog filters, especially the undergravel ones, and you have to wash their gravel frequently. They'll also tear up any plants you put in the aquarium.

Goldfish belong in an outdoor pond where the fish by-products are spread out over a larger area and you don't have to stare at it all day. Dig it deep enough and put water lilies and other aquatic plants in pots on the bottom, and you'll never be bothered by goldfish poop. (Dig a shallow inclined beach on one end of your pond and decorate it with washed and dried seaweed in the spring, and you may get lots of little baby goldfish too!)

I had some baitfish goldfish as a kid put them in a tank and the suckers would never die. I swear they lived for years and i rarely cleaned the tank. They got to be pretty big too. I think they were mutant.

I dug a 150 gallon pond in my yard last spring. It's about 2ft deep. I stocked it with plants tad poles and bought 10 feeder goldfish for $1.00. 6 died in the first week and I have 4 left and my pond has froze over this winter. I went out there 2 days ago and they are thriving as ever and getting pretty big. They have also changed colors. They all had black in them when I bought them, and they are solid gold now. They don't eat in the winter either.

I don't know what makes them die. I never give them tap water, I catch rain in buckets and change it out when I can and I don't change but 30% of it at a time. Gonna get some koi in the spring.

WHY DO SALMON DIE? Is it just coincidence that these two threads were started on the same day? :)

Because they're supposed to ?

Informative article. One of the reasons that I like FR so much is that, completely out of the blue, I'll learn something that I might never have thought of looking into myself.

I briefly considered getting some fish (in a well secured tank) to keep the cats company. I nixed the idea, mainly because of the (sometimes severe) temperature variations in the house. I do kind of like them, though.

Had one of these Black Moor goldfish as a kid.

The thing was damn near INDESTRUCTIBLE. Lived for years.
