ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of the activity level of goldfish as temperature increases. Number of tail oscillations in 60 seconds of goldfish has been tested at 8oC, 18oC and 28oC in two separately trials by using timer and clicker and at each temperature 6 same sized and coloured goldfish was tested. In trial one, the mean number of tail oscillation at 8oC, 18oC and 28oC are 51, 105 and 84 respectively and in …
