Goldfish, Ponds, and Aquarium Related Links

These are a set of resources that I have found useful, interesting, or both. Some are only peripherally related to goldfish but still of interest to the fish hobbyist. Please feel free to send me suggestions for additions or alerts on out-of-date links. A few links are listed more than once because they fit in more than one category.

Key Goldfish Articles and Reference Information

These links all contain important information on goldfish that is useful for reference and learning purposes. The brine shrimp FAQs are included here because of the role of artemia in goldfish rearing.

Information from the US Government

Thanks to the aggressive application of our tax dollars, the US government has made an enormous amount of information available on the Internet. I have used these links to find out about import-export regulations, analyze nutritional data, and figure out what toxic substances companies in my neighborhood are releasing into the environment.
