How do you take care of goldfish water?

There are several steps involved in taking care of goldfish water. When it comes to the right temperature in your tank regarding goldfish health and water care, the preferred range is 68–74 degrees Fahrenheit or 60–70 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the type of fish. Additionally, the pH level needs to be in the range of 7.0 and 8.4, and an air filter or water pump is necessary to ensure proper aeration. Changing the water regularly is also vital to maintain the health and well-being of goldfish.

Do I need to add anything to my goldfish's water?

There are several elements you can add to your tank to ensure optimal goldfish health and water care. Both water conditioner and aquarium salt can potentially neutralize harmful substances as well as add advantageous electrolytes. Consult your vet with any questions.

How often should I clean my goldfish's water?

How frequently you should change your tank water to maintain optimal goldfish health and water care depends on whether your tank includes a filtration system. If it does not, then it's recommended to change out a third to a half of the tank water every three to seven days. For tanks with a filtration system, it's recommended to change anywhere from 10–25% of the water weekly.

How long should the water sit before adding goldfish when cleaning?

Many recommend allowing tap water to sit in the tank for a full 24 hours before adding your goldfish back inside. This allows chemicals like chlorine to evaporate. However, if you incorporate a water neutralizer, you can return your fish to the tank immediately.
