How to save the life of your new goldfish
Here at The Goldfish Tank, we get a HUGE number of questions from new goldfish keepers who have their goldfish in a bowl.
These questions usually come from people who aren’t 100% sure how to care for their first goldfish, have read bad things about goldfish bowls (all true of course – bowls really are very bad for your fish!) and feel overwhelmed and confused by the amount of information scattered around various websites.
We’re always happy to help of course, but we do find that the same questions come up time and time again. That’s why we’ve put all of the answers into one handy guide…
