Tropical fish aré warm-blooded

Goldfish do fine in an aquzrium
with a water temperature ar¢und
65 degrees F.

When visiting a tropical fish
store, get, an idea of different
sizes of aquariums and the type
of equipment you will need. A
goldfish aquarium should be
covered with a reflector using
fluorescent lights, which do not
throw off a significant amount of
heat.

relatively simple, but be sure it's
very sturdy since the weight of
the aquarium and water is quite
heavy.

A good ‘idea is to build an open

the front with decorative panel-
ing to match your room decor
and leave the back open so thaty
the wiring and tubing from your
aquarium's pump and niltes can
be stored out of sight.

In addition to the reflector, you

will also need a good filter since
goldfish are rather, messy. Your
dealer can help with a selection.

Even though you don't needa
heater, it's a good idea to usé a
thermometer to make sure the
water temperature does not rise
beyond 80°F.

A recent development in ther-
