CARE OF FISHES 
O successfully raise and keep either 
goldfish or tropicals, it is essential 
that the outdoor pool 
plants ; the indoor aquarium 
with oxygenating plants 
fish. 
OVERCROWDING of fishes should 
be avoided. In outdoor pools, fish are 
hardly ever crowded. In the indoor 
aquarium, it is required to have one 
gallon of water for every 2 to 214 
inches of goldfish body, or one gallon 
of water for 2 to 3 pairs of tropical 
fishes. 
Whenever fish continuously swim 
near the surface of the water, it in- 
dicates that the oxygen is exhausted 
and immediate relief should be given 
by changing part of the water, aerate 
it with an air pump (see page 31 for our White Mist Pump), or trans- 
fer some of the fish to another aquarium. 

Tropical fish thrive best at a temperature of 72° to 80° F., whereas 
goldfish require a lower temperature. 
DO NOT PUT TROPICAL AND GOLDFISH TOGETHER. 
FEEDING OF FISHES 
After years of experimenting, studying and raising various kinds of 
fish, both tropical and goldfish, we developed foods for all types of 
aquarium or pool fishes. 
Tricker foods are known throughout the country as quality foods, 
eontaining all the nutrients necessary for successfully raising fishes. 
For GOLDFISH. either in the pool or aquarium, we recommend our 
IN-NUR-CO to be alternated with SUN-CURED SHRIMP. Feed the 
goldfish every other day, as much as they will eat in ten minutes, 
Syphon off unconsumed food from the aquarium with a dip tube. 
For TROPICAL FISH, we recommend VITALINE, a new 
just introduced; LACTO-PEP, an easily digestible DRIED 
DAPHNIA, which consists of carcasses of the tiny crustaceans of 
fresh water fleas, and SUN-CURED SHRIMP, finely prepared. Feed the 
fish three times daily in small amounts, not more than they can con- 
sume in 10 minutes. Syphon off any excess food.
