According to data put together by Harvard's Amitabh Chandra, which the New York Times published in raw form in 2006, it was the least common birth date for more than two decades in the late 20th century; September 16 comes in at the other end of the spectrum, as the most common date for babies to be born.
A Goldfish will grow quicker if you increase its metabolism slightly. This can be done by keeping the water at summer temperatures of around 65F to 70F. Goldfish kept at this higher temp will also need added space (2 gals per inch of fish), air bubbles and a really good filtration system.
1. Select your tank. Many people choose to put their fish in bowls, but these simply don't have the capacity to let a goldfish thrive. If you can afford it, try to get at least a 20 gallon (75.7 L) tank for your first goldfish, plus another 10 gallons (37.9 L) for every new fish.. Add your fish to the tank slowly. Don't dump a bunch of goldfish into your tank all at once, as this might cause stress to the biological system of the tank. Only add one or two fish at a time, preferably with several weeks between each group.
