Hi, i am new to this.
I have never rare fish bfore.
I only rare other types of animals.
I just bought one gold fish in a small tank. with a small filter.
It's a small gold fish. Not big size.
It has bubble looking bags on their forehead and eyes~

I wanna ask, when i change water weekly.
1. Do i need to wash the filter as well?
2. Do i need to keep half the previous water in the tank?
3. Need to anti chlorine rite?
4. Do i need to add salt??? Some people say add salt, but the seller never ask me to add salt o. Then if i need to add, how much to add?
5. Am i able to put my hand in to play with my goldfish?

Please teach me pleaSe.
I see many people saying that goldfish die very fast and all.
I dont want my fish to die!
I want it to be healthy~
Please let me know if you guys can help^^

1. Yes, if very dirty but dont wash till clean. Got good bacteria in it.
2. Yes, fish can die if change 100% water.
3. Yes, very important.
4. Hmm, depends la. Add maybe once a month or something. Use aquarium salt.
5. Nope, goldfish has this protective slime covered all over the body. If you touch, the slime will remove making your fish vulnerable to diseases.

I tried raring pearlscale goldfish but all died, fed up with GF so got myself a Pacu and South American red tail catfish. Very easy maintenance.
