Hi All,
Gong Xi Fa Cai to all those who are celebrating Chinese New Year. I came across this very interesting article about goldfish growth and the factors affecting it. It is a very 'scientific' article but from what I can derive (from my limited scientific mind), it indicates that goldfish tend to experience growth spurts at the beginning of spring after a cold spell. If that is indeed true, it could well mean that here in the tropics, we may never grow our goldfish to the sizes attainable in more temperate climates. Now isn't that discouraging??? Please comment...in particular Doc Goldrush who may be able to shed more light on this topic. Attached File(s)

QUOTE Maybe cooling down the water temperature (fan or A/C) for 1 month and then warming up with heater? I was thinking more along the lines of the tanks they sell live lobsters in the have built in refrigeration units. |
