Water gardens. THE BOOK OF WATER GARDENING consume at each feeding time, leaving none to decay and pollute the water. An excellent food for gold fish is vermicelli broken up into very fine pieces. Wheat or rice that has been boiled and then crushed is also a suitable food for them. The gold fish will breed in ponds, tanks and large aquaria, depositing their spawn among the stems and leaves of submerged plants, to wind, it adheres; therefore, a number of those plants should always be kept in the water with the. The illustrations in the two upper panels show the straight-tailed gold fish. Carassius auratus (common gold fish) This and its many varieties are the best fish for aquaria and Water Lily ponds The illustration in the lower panel is that of Idus idus (Golden Ide—Golden Orphe). a beautiful yellow colored fish, restless, quick in motion, feeding near the surface, therefore almost always in sight fish. The eggs hatch, if the temperature of the water is right, in from four to seven days. When first hatched the fish are very tiny, with a large, round sack attached to the abdomen; this they gradually absorb within a few days. When in the small stage the young fish are dark colored, so that it takes a sharp eye to detect them swimming around just under the surface of the water.
