What is this place!?
Euro Goldfish is an attempt to bring European fancy goldfish enthusiasts together, and to share our knowledge, experience and passion with each others.
We face some special challenges in Europe and in particular within the EU, when it comes to keeping, buying and shipping fish. This is especially the case with goldfish.
We are here to help each other navigate around these regulations and limitations, and celebrate what works. In the end, we want all who are interested, to enjoy our passion and share our enthusiasm.

One large or multiple small?
I must admit, that I am hooked on filtration. I really love messing with them and building my own setups. A year ago, I made a filter using a PVC rain gutter filled with bio filter media. Although it worked well, it could be better. So I made an even better filter, using 9(!) PCV…

Kelp & Spirulina for DIY Goldfish food
I have recently been experimenting with homemade food for the goldfish. I have been mixing brineshrimp, vegetables and scrambled eggs, to make a mixture that I then steam for 10 hours. This gives me a pretty solid mixture, that will hold for 4-5 days in the fridge, that I can feed to the fish directly.…
