Why is background knowledge on goldfish keeping so important?

In fact, there are goldfish owners who are convinced that they offer their animals an optimal home. Author Svenja Nett disagrees. She firmly believes that every living creature deserves to be kept in a species-appropriate manner and that many owners of ornamental fish do not know what their swimming friends really need to live a species-appropriate and healthy life.

Why is this book useful to you?

This book makes sense if you keep goldfish or are at least thinking about getting goldfish. If you are concerned about keeping the fish species-appropriate and you want them to live a healthy and long life. Many keepers do not know what there is to consider when keeping ornamental fish.

Why is a goldfish-specific guide useful?
