Here's a quick lesson in science, that interest in the care of gold fish.
May you recall the concept of thermal expansion. Perhaps you are very familiar with it, even if you learned long ago.
I will not go into details, but the effect of a substance which expands as it is hot.
If you remember scientific experiments in the same way I do, the more interesting has always been just what happened when the substance was suddenly cooled (thermal contraction) of the quenching in water.
The really hot material showed a strong reaction as he hit the ice, liquid, and then be visible by the rapid cooling.
Now, I am not suggesting that gold fish are like pieces of hot metal.
It seems, the science shared memory for my May view. It is simply that the golden fish, as any substance, it is difficult to resist the dramatic temperature drop.
Any expert in caring for golden fish, you seem to be wary of the water temperature in the aquarium fish or, if you have just cleaned, or if you're about to put a new fish in the tank.
Why? Well, it is likely that your tap water is at room temperature? Or that the fish tank or the temperature is the same as the tank facility? No to both questions.
And if the difference between the temperature is too high, it is likely that the fish do not suffer, but die.
But the fish are quite tolerant of different temperatures, if it is fairly constant. It has been shown that some fish can live when it's so cold that ice floats in water, and others live in water above 80 degrees Fahrenheit for decades.
The actual temperature is not so important - they can tolerate hot and cold, as it is generally unchangeable.
But sudden warming or cooling is quite different and will be detrimental to gold fish very easily.
What does all this mean? It is clear. Looking for fish after the gold is a bit more complicated than you may have thought.
Do not worry too much, however. The temperature monitoring is not so difficult. All it takes is the presence of mind and some practice.
And whenever you work at it, you spend one more step to be an expert to take care of golden fish, even if your science knowledge is a little rusty!
