Goldfish keeping is surprisingly easy, yet most Goldfish die within twelve months of their purchase. They can live a long time, 20 years for pond fish is not uncommon. Goldfish are undemanding endearing pets that thrive when 5 simple care rules are followed. These rules are buy healthy fish and quarantining them properly, make large regular water changes, feed them a nourishing diet based on their natural foods, give them enough room, and don’t mix incompatible varieties. This 280+ page eBook is the result of decades of hands-on experience and covers every aspect of Goldfish care, breeding, and diseases, and is based on these 5 rules. The Book is sorted into handy sections with a Table of Contents with clickable links so you can quickly find what you are looking for. The Book Contents Section 1 – Overview, History, Care, Selection, and Anatomy A quick overview of the Goldfish; where it came from, some basic information on the different physical attributes possible, and their basic environmental needs are covered. Goldfish have been cultivated for a thousand years and during that time moved from China their homeland to first Japan and then progressively across Europe. If you want your Goldfish to be disease free and contented, here you will find some basic care guidelines that need to be followed. Selecting healthy fish to buy from a pet shop is almost impossible but here you learn how to treat them during the quarantine period. You need to be familiar with the external and internal parts of a Goldfish so you know when something is not normal. Section 2 – Aquariums, Filters, and Plants Aquariums come in a variety of shapes and materials. Depending on what the primary use of your aquarium will be should guide you on the best one to purchase. There is a huge variety of filters available. One of the most important aspects of filter purchase is getting one of the appropriate size for your setup. If the wrong plants are used in a Goldfish aquarium you will find just stalks left by the next morning. Section 3 – How and What to Feed Goldfish Feeding Goldfish is one of the most important parts of Goldfish care. The fancier the variety, the more important it is that their diet doesn’t cause digestive problems such as swim bladder disorder. Section 4 – Common Diseases and Dangers This section covers fungal, bacterial and parasitical diseases and covers 14 of the more common diseases. Section 5 – Commonly Available Goldfish Varieties Although there are well over 100 varieties of goldfish, there are only 12-13 that are commonly available in Europe and America. Each variety has its own special needs. Learn which varieties can and shouldn’t be mixed together. Section 6 – Breeding Goldfish and Raising Fry Many enthusiasts breed their fish; few raise any to adulthood. Once you have successfully spawned your Goldfish, the book details how to avoid parasite infestation and the best and easiest food to prepare and feed your fry is explained. Section 7 – Live Food Cultures To be successful raising Goldfish from fry to adult requires culturing live foods, especially when the fry are under a month old. One of the easiest live foods to grow is brine shrimp which is ideal as a first food for fry. Section – 8 Ponds, Filters and Clarifiers Installing a Goldfish pond can be a large commitment. There are many decisions to be made before work starts. Location is one of the most important, as is filter selection. Even heavily filtered ponds will go green because most pond filters can’t filter out suspended algae. A UV clarifier can provide crystal clear water all year round. Learn how to calculate what size clarifier you need for your pond (or aquarium).

The goldfish, Carassius auratus, a member of the Carp family, Cyprinidae, has been domesticated for many hundreds of years, as a food fish, a laboratory animal and now most important commercially, for ornamental and aesthetic purposes. There are now many scores of recognised varieties, which have been produced over time by selection processes and other methods described in detail in this stimulating book. Goldfish Varieties and Genetics covers all major aspects relating to goldfish breeding and genetics in a readable and user-friendly style. An account is presented of the domestication and evolution of the goldfish, including comprehensive details of the relevant genetic and biological principles involved in the development strategies and production of new varieties. The book also covers the subject of goldfish appreciation and the international significance of goldfish shows and show standards. The book concludes with an exciting forward look at the potential evolutionary future for the goldfish. This important and timely book brings together, for the first time, a wealth of scientific information, presented in a clear and understandable manner by Dr Joseph Smartt, who has many years' experience working in fish genetics and breeding. The book is a must-have purchase for all serious goldfish breeders, hobbyists and dealers, fish biologists and geneticists, aquarium keepers and aquaculture personnel.

First published in 1909 and long out of print, Japanese Goldfish is a thorough and practical guide to the Japanese methods of goldfish culture for both amateurs and professionals. Written by Hugh M. Smith, former United States deputy commissioner of fisheries and president of the American Fisheries Society, the book discusses general aspects of goldfish culture in Japan; Japanese goldfish breeds and breeding establishments; egg-laying and hatching; food, growth, and care of the fish; diseases and fatalities of eggs and fish; standards of quality; the goldfish trade; and Japanese goldfish in America. It also includes a special appendix, "Goldfish and Their Culture in Japan," by Shinnosuke Matsubara, formerly director of the Imperial Fisheries Institute at Tokyo. The author writes, "While American goldfish culturists and fanciers have developed most efficient methods, there is much for professionals and amateurs to learn from the Japanese, and a discussion of goldfish and their culture from the Japanese viewpoint will be of practical value and general interest to Americans. While there have been published many works dealing with the goldfish and their cultivation, there is none that has just the scope and viewpoint of the present one; and it is believed that herein are set forth certain aspects of Japanese methods that have never before been made known to western readers." This book includes numerous illustrations, including ten full-color pictures of goldfish varieties reproduced from watercolor paintings done from life by the noted Japanese artist J. Urata. The book has been newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press and published with the "green" technology of print-on-demand using acid-free, archival-quality paper. An essential volume in the library of every goldfish fancier, this book provides a rare glimpse into the secrets of turn-of-the-century Japanese goldfish keepers.

First published in 1883 and long out of print, The Goldfish and Its Systematic Culture is a a practical treatise on the goldfish and its varieties, its propagation and care, enemies and diseases of the fish in captivity, together with useful information on the construction and maintenance of ponds. The author, Hugo Mullert, writes, "The originality of the method I describe in the following pages I claim as my own, and it has been my earnest endeavor to speak plainly and to the point, giving the full results of my long experience, not intentionally withholding any facts or secrets that would in any way have a bearing upon the success of the business. This method has the decided advantage of applying equally to the culture of goldfish, no matter upon what scale it is carried on, whether the establishment is intended to produce hundreds of thousands of fish annually, or be engaged in with limited means by anyone who wishes to add something to a restricted income."This book includes numerous illustrations and has been newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press and published with the "green" technology of print-on-demand using acid-free, archival-quality paper. An essential volume in the library of every goldfish fancier.

What is it about ancient monsters that popular culture still finds so enthralling? Why do the monsters of antiquity continue to stride across the modern world? In this book, the first in-depth study of how post-classical societies use the creatures from ancient myth, Liz Gloyn reveals the trends behind how we have used monsters since the 1950s to the present day, and considers why they have remained such a powerful presence in our shared cultural imagination. She presents a new model for interpreting the extraordinary vitality that classical monsters have shown, and their enormous adaptability in finding places to dwell in popular culture without sacrificing their connection to the ancient world. Her argument takes her readers through a comprehensive tour of monsters on film and television, from the much-loved creations of Ray Harryhausen in Clash of the Titans to the monster of the week in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, before looking in detail at the afterlives of the Medusa and the Minotaur. She develops a broad theory of the ancient monster and its life after antiquity, investigating its relation to gender, genre and space to offer a bold and novel exploration of what keeps drawing us back to these mythical beasts. From the siren to the centaur, all monster lovers will find something to enjoy in this stimulating and accessible book.
