Can u give gold fish any thing to make them grow faster coz garden centre gold fish look big?

The older goldfish are the bigger they are. If yours are still small it's because they're younger. Provide your goldfish with a large tank and feed them regularly.

You can feed them pond balls,these make them grow at an amazing rate.
Reply:First, they need the space to grow - even more than you'd think. So, maybe one goldfish in a 55-gallon tank, or better yet - a large, outdoor pond.





Second, water quality. Fish need pristine water conditions in which to be healthy. If they are stressed because of too much ammonia or nitrites, they can eventually die. If there are too many nitrates in the water, they can potentially survive, but they'll never thrive. Take care of the water, and the fish will take care of themselves.





Third, if the water is warmer, they will eat more and utilize the protein more efficiently. You could go as high as 76 degrees F (though somewhere in the low 70's is probably sufficient - don't go any higher than the upper 70's, though, or you'll end up with fish soup!). And, be sure to aerate the water with an air stone, a bubbler, or a waterfall - something to agitate the water's surface. Warmer water does not bind with oxygen molecules as efficiently as colder water does, so sufficient aeration is very important.





Next, feed a high-quality food with a high-protein content - especially when the water/weather is warmer. I like both Hikari and Aquatic Gold. Supplement their diets with orange, zuchinni, and/or cucumber slices, frozen or freeze-dried krill, bloodworms, or brine shrimp, peas, spinach - even bits of pizza crust or Cheerios (as treats, only). As the water and weather turn colder, reduce the protein content of their diets and once the water goes below 50-55 degrees F, don't feed at all (their digestive systems slow way down and food will rot in their gut before it is digested, potentially killing them). Make sure your fish get an adequate supply of Vitamin C, as fish that grow too fast and/or have a deficiency of this nutrient are very susceptible to scoliosis (crooked spine).





Finally, time. It all takes time. Depending on the variety of goldfish, it may take a year or two to get good growth on them. Comets grow faster than fancies, and koi (not really a goldfish, but related) grow fastest of all - it's not uncommon to see one 10-12" or more at only two years old, and for them to continue growing after that. Most goldfish, however, max out at around 12-14".





Hope this helps.
Reply:to make gold fish get bigger you need to increase the size of your pond area as they need the space to be active so feed them more as well
Reply:No you can't, but you CAN provide the best care possible and make sure they are in clean water and you keep up the maintenance and regular water changes on their tank. Clean water with superb filtration and good quality food made for goldfish will help your fish grow, that's about it. The fish you see are more then likely well over 5 years old (this of course is dependent on what type of goldfish they were and what kind you have). You don't mention where you have your fish housed.......in a tank or in a pond. No matter where they are, the above still applies.





Good luck. ;o)
Reply:Protein makes them grow. Try frozen blood worms or brine shrimp a couple of times a week. They also grow more if you change the water a lot. They will grow more if you can get them into a pond outside.


My goldfish seem to grow about an inch a year, I have fancy goldfish not single tails. Single tailed fish should grow much more than one inch a year.


They grow all over not just in length, their fins, eyes, width and girth should all grow together. They get bulkier I should say.


Good food and good water and they grow just fine.
Reply:There's nothing you can feed them to make them grow. but if you increase the size of there living space they'll grow
Reply:The answer is easy,heat, if you heat you pond and air-ate it then they will grow faster.Only feed what they are willing to eat and a filter set up would be a go idea,then your fish will grow faster. Other than that i am afraid it is just a matter of time.p.s if they are able to take them try frozen prawns and a treat.
Reply:Fish don't grow to the size of the tank, they grow to there natural size but if their tank is too small then they can become stunted in which they won't become healthy adult fish.
Reply:I thought goldfish grew as big as the container would allow, so if you want bigger fish feed them well and put them in a tank or pond with lots of room.
Reply:The more you change the water(once a week)The quicker they


grow.But do you really want them big.New tank will be needed.
Reply:Give them steroids, that should make them grow..
Reply:It,s because they use magnifying glass in there tanks
Reply:put a heater in tank set just below tropical seting which is around 27-28c so set to 22c they eat more and grow fast
Reply:gold fish grow to the size of there tank or pond. Increase the size of their home
Reply:Fish can only grow as big as there surroundinga allow. The bigger the container the bigger they grow- and they say fish are stupid shame big daddy wasn't a fish.!!!1
