Care Requirements
Aquarium Size
A minimum 20-gallon aquarium is recommended for one juvenile Pingpong Pearlscale Goldfish. Adults should be housed in a 30-gallon aquarium or larger, with additional space for multiple fish.
For the best results, provide:
- High-quality biological filtration
- Gentle water circulation
- Excellent oxygenation
- Stable water conditions
- Weekly partial water changes
- Smooth décor and open swimming areas
Because of their rounded body and slower swimming speed, Pearlscales should be kept with other peaceful fancy goldfish.
