In the wild, goldfish can be found in slow-moving, freshwater bodies of water. As with their close relative the carp, they thrive in slightely sludgy water. In an aquarium, bi-weekly water changes are a good idea as a goldfish tank is hard to keep clean. They thrive in a pond environment thus the addition of real plants is optimal if the owner is prepared to replace them fairly regularly; goldfish enjoy eating live plants. An aquarium with a dirt bottom is ideal but difficult to maintain. Small pebbles are a suitable substitute for the pond-like bottom. Typically, goldfish will survive in water temperatures ranging from freezing to 30 degrees centegrade. Fancy varieties(orandas, lionheads, ranchu, veiltailes...) should be kept in water no cooler than room temperature.
