Crazy busy day, kids' stuff - DCs each won a goldfish at local fair and I put them in temp tank with fresh water. used to live in city/everything open late and now in burbs, couldn't find anything open past 6 pm -- so I crushed up kelp and fed it to the fish until tomorrow morning when I can go to pet store. also, I read that I really need a 10+ gallon rectangular tank with filtration system. true or false? DCs would be devastated if they died. I'm good with pets, just need some tips [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

not big enough for two fish, they say -- it's surface area with oxygen intake that is critical, not the volume of the tank [ Reply | More

it is. we've had our three living in there for months. key is change water/filter regularly. and when you change the water, let it sit overnight before putting it into the bowl. [ Reply | More

better if you get a bottom feeder in addition to the goldfish. a shrimp will get rid of leftover food/poop. speak with them in the store, they can direct you (but don't let them scare you into overbuying). [ Reply | More
