Pet Goldfish
I picked out a goldfish at the
pet store.
I will take it home and care for it.
I will watch it swim.
Goldfish need a big tank.
They need room to swim.
I put small rocks in the tank.
The rocks sit at the bottom
of the tank.
Why might
you put rocks
in a
fish tank?
I fill the tank with plants.
The goldfish swims
through the plants.
Goldfish like to explore.
Goldfish need clean water.
I have a filter for my tank.
The filter keeps the
water clean.
Why do we
need to keep
a fishs
water clean?
We change some of the water
every week.
This keeps our fish healthy.
I use a net to move my goldfish.
Why should
you use
a net to
move goldfish?
Goldfish food looks like
little flakes.
I feed my fish two times each day.
I am careful not to give the fish
too much food.
Some people get more than
one goldfish.
The fish must be the same size.
Otherwise they may not get along.
A goldfish can live
for twenty years.
It makes a great pet.
