Goldfish

For my entire life, my family has had a fish tank. Not just a small goldfish aquarium, either, but a huge, 90 gallon saltwater aquarium with everything from fish to coral to sea urchins, and more. One of my first memories was of pressing my tiny little toddler hands onto the glass, pointing out the “fishies and anemenenomies”, as I called them then. It was my dad's baby, his pride and joy. The effort that he put into creating the ideal environment was astounding and clearly visible- the aquarium

I. Introduction Temperature can greatly affect the metabolic rate of Carassius auratus auratus (goldfish). Carassius auratus auratus(goldfish) are native to eastern Asia and was first discovered by the Chinese. Unlike homoiotherm, Carassius auratus auratus(goldfish) are ectothermic, which means they adjust to their surrounding temperature. In this lab, the dependent variable is the rate of breath per 15 seconds and the independent variable is the temperature in Celsius. Since Carassius auratus auratus

Question Does diet affect spatial learning and memory in Carassius auratus in a maze situation? Introduction Carassius auratus, commonly referred to as goldfish, originated from C. a. auratus that is native to southern China and found in the lower Yangtze River (Wang). Although C. auratus have been long domesticated, their ancestors are wild fish that have adapted to survive in large rivers and hostile conditions.

that catch your eye, maybe three or four goldfish, and a tank that seems big enough for your new friends. After all, they grow to the size of the tank anyway, right? You grab a small can of the flaky, not at all appetizing fish food, and maybe some rocks and decorations for your new tank. You get everything home and your fish acquainted, only to find that 3 weeks later they’re all dead. It’s a bummer, but not surprising, when has anyone ever said goldfish have a long life expectancy anyway? What

When I was little, my family had two goldfish in a small, round bowl. Watching my mother clean out the tank was the extent to which I knew how to care for fish.

only by cats who supposedly have nine lives -- pun intended. They are a perfect match for parents who want to give their children pets that will last for some time. Unfortunately, there are some stereotypical misconceptions unjustly served to the goldfish, according to the goldfishlifespan.com. All goldfishes have the same size and can exist in a fishbowl.

temperature of the water and the respiration rate of the fish at the beginning make-up the control group. Background Information:The purpose of the experiment was to identify the temperature of the water, and it’s affect on the respiration of the Goldfish. Respiration the way of breathing, is the way of biotic things to exchange gases with their environment. Throughout the six kingdoms, the fish falls under the Animalia family. Since, the kingdoms are very broad, like the Animalia, many differences
