- Goldfish need to live in chemical free water or they will become sick.
- You also need a filter to get rid of waste in the water.
- Goldfish need to be fed everyday. You can find their food at pet stores. Buy the food specially made for goldfish, and feed only twice a day.

- Buy a tank with a cover to protect it from animals.
- Fish need oxygen to breathe, but they get their oxygen by taking it from the water when it passes through it’s gills.
- It is good to buy more than one fish at a time because they are used to swimming in schools and when they’re by themselves they feel scared and in danger.
