BIRMINGHAM AQUARIUM COMPANY for Better Home Products — Birmingham, Ala. 
GOLDFISH 
Your goldfish will depend largely on the care you give them. Failures 
are usually caused from the following: Overfeeding, overcrowding, tem¬ 
perature changing, and insufficient plant life. 
Never overcrowd your aquarium. The usual rule for raising goldfish 
is one inch of fish to one gallon of water. If your fish come to the top gasp¬ 
ing for air, this is a good sign of overcrowding. However, they will do the 
same if your water is polluted. Your fish will suffer if this is not remedied. 
Overfeeding is the cause of more failures than any other reason. There 
is less danger of starving, than overfeeding them. If they do not consume 
all of the amount you give them within a few minutes, remove the surplus 
with a diptube. 
Don’t subject your fish to temperatures higher or lower. This will pre¬ 
vent later regrets.
