Welcome to a compendium of information on my particular interests in goldfish. We've had goldfish for some years and have found them to be surprisingly satisfying pets. But caring for them in an optimal manner has proven difficult. I'm learning slowly, thanks to the help of others, and will try to use this web site as a way to disseminate some of these experiences.
Hopefully, as an Internet user, you realize that anyone is free to put just about anything they want out in public as "information". I recommend you be a critical reader of information you find on the web; if it doesn't seem to make sense it may well be incorrect. That includes this web page. I know I have mistakes on this site, witting and unwitting. So use your common sense.
My opinions, as expressed on this Web page, are based on a small amount of personal experience, greatly supplemented with the communal wisdom of assorted other goldfish keepers. It should be realized that goldfish vary in their tolerance for sub-optimal conditions. Some fish will thrive in conditions that might quickly kill other, more delicate fish. In general, there are methods of keeping goldfish that will kill them right away, may eventually be fatal, or that simply will not produce optimal results over the long run. Hopefully any advice offered here will help give you the information needed to avoid being in any of these undesirable categories.
One last note; like my basement, this Web page is suffering from some "information entropy". That is, as the amount of information available increases, the level of organization decreases. I of course would like to fix this, but in the meantime it puts the burden on you, the reader, to explore the nooks and crannies to see if the info you need is here somewhere. Please read the FAQs, the basic care info, and then look at the Table of Contents. Enjoy and good luck!
