Dear About-Goldfish,
I have, for some time now, a couple of goldfish.
They are healthy and active.
However.
Since I moved the location of the aquarium (the light source) has changed.
Now, during winter, there is direct sunlight from outside coming into the tank.
And the thing I worry about is whether or not this damages their retinas.
I live in the Netherlands so the low standing sun isn't too intense but still, I shield them from it.
It takes somewhere between 2 to 3 hour for the light to pass.
Are my fish in danger of getting blinded by that?
The aquarium its self is roughly 8 to 10 feet away from the window.
I have no problems with algae or anything.
Thanks for your time. Hope to hear from you soon.
