I have had a hard time keeping my gold fish alive in my rain barrel. The first round I bought all died within 2 or so months. I thought maybe I hadn’t been feeding them frequently enough since the weather wasn’t yet warm enough to supply mosquito larvae. I bought goldfish again to do an experiment. I put half in my rain barrel and half in my neighbor’s. All of mine died, several of his are still swimming. I always made sure to feed both at the same time. The only differences that I can think of are: – My rain barrel is dark, opaque, and fully shaded during the day. His rain barrel is white, semi-opaque, and gets a decent bit of sunlight. – My rain barrel is only ~6#8243; away from the exhaust of the boiler that heats my house. Initially I thought the boiler exhaust might be the reason for the issue, however the boiler was barely on when I bought the second round of golf fish because of warmer weather.
Does anyone have any thoughts about what I could do differently to keep some goldfish alive in my barrel??[font=Arial] |
