Our goldfishes are overweight...

"There are no hopeless situations; there are only men who have grown helpless about them.." -  Clare Boothe Luce ''

A few months back hubby bought a small aquarium and filled it with 4 cute little fancy goldfishes. It was fun to see them swimming gracefully in the aquarium. It was more fun to see them during feeding time as our four goldfishes would swim upside down and beg for food like puppies.'


When nobody is around at home my daughter, Sara, talks to the goldfishes as she feeds them. She said they understand people talk. We have been feeding the fishes too much. They have doubled their sizes and look lethargic and sick. They said that extreme overfeeding can actually be fatal to goldfishes, so we’ll need to starve them for a few days and get them back in shape…

  13. Kak Nong...the goldfishes are so cute...

    Dulu masa anie pelihara ikan kat rumah mertua...tuan punya kedai ikan pun ada cakap...jgn overfed them...& diorang pun takkan mati kalau tak diberi makan 2-3 days...

    Melihat ikan2 berenang dlm akuarium tu boleh menenangkan jiwa...

  18. They are beautiful. I remember when I was little. We took off for holiday somewhere and the driver overfed the fishes. The water got cloudy. My father had to roll up his sleeves and clear the tank. Can't remember how long the fishes survived after that though.

  19. Hazia,
    Goldfishes ni manja sikit. Water must be clean all the time if not susceptible to infections.

    I know they are sick when they shake their bodies,scratch against objects in the tank and swim abnormally tak tentu hala...
