When you put a goldfish in water, make sure you use chlorine remover. You can get this from any pet store really.. Even Wilkinsons do it...

When cleaning your filter, don't do it under the tap, use water from the tank. To keep the bacteria in.
So take some out in a bowl, then wash the pump in that and tip that water away.

You should feed goldfish three times a week, or ammonia might build up because the more they eat the more they poop... poop = ammonia.

You should also do a 25% water change every three weeks to ensure ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels stay low.

Need any more advice, let me know.

basiclly

whenever i put all ma little fishies into my tank, they die within like a week

i have a fan thing or w.e you call it + a light

is there anything i can do to make them alive

i feed them btw

Do you frequently get drunk and pour booze in the tank, or do you use it as a toilet? If so, stop.

fnx for all the serious comments lol

are there like fish that look like fantails and they have sort of the same-ish tails?

because i went to pets at home and the had them + they said they were like goldfish so you treat them in the same way :S

do you know if their tropical or cold water?

my dad has like 100's of tropical fish yeah so this is what he has

he has his tank obviously,
then he has his filter and an oxygen thing (for pumping it into the tank)
he has a REALLY bright light, like really bright

you only feed them like once a day

i think you have to put a scene on the back of the tank :S
thats what they do at the pet stores

also when you first get them do u keep the fish in the bag and place them into the water in the bag? u have to do that for 20 mins or they like go into shock

if you still dont know go to pets at home or wherever and be like can you explain to me exactly how to keep them
