Question

HELPPP!!! i got 5 new goldfishes and i don't know what to do!! i can't buy a filteration system or a tank because it's too expensive. and i don't have a thermometer. all i have is a long dusty ugly vase and goldfish food.

and it came in a plastic bag with what i think is goldfish food. but help!!! BEST ANSWER GETS 10 POINTS!!!!

Answer 1

Why did u buy the goldfish without buying a tank to put them in lol that was kinda crazy :-) so for now, find a bowl to put them in, but remember to dechlorinate water before you put it in. Probably some of the goldfish will die, because goldfish, especially 5 of them, will die without a tank or filter. You probably want to return them, or buy a tank of at least 29 gallons with a filter and an aerator (no heater required) very, very soon.

Answer 2

why did you accept them if you cant care for them. its not hard to just say no thanks. so really ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

because they are carnival goldfish they need 130 gallons MINIMUM

just go put them in a pond (with permission of course)

they can have tap water but it needs to be treated with chemicals available from your local pet shop

all fish should have filters

Answer 3

Unfortunately, they won't survive long without a filter or an aquarium. I would suggest going to a pet store and giving the goldfish to them because you can't afford an adequate setup for them. Goldfish produce way too much waste to keep even 1 in a vase. Sorry it didn't work out for you sweetie. In the future don't accept any animals unless you know you can take care of them.  

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

What were you thinking buying fish without a fish tank!!!!  lol

You need to find a large bowl or bucket and fill it with water.

then place the bag with the fish still in it in the bucket so they can get used to the new water temp.

you don't need to keep the water a certain temperature and they dont NEED a filter as goldfish a very hardy.

after about 5-10 minutes let them out of the bag and into their new home!

feed them a pinch of their food once every day.

If you don't have a bucket large enough for 5 goldfish you should put them in separate bowls (I presume they are small [ 4-5cm/2inch]) you will need about 1 litre per fish.

goodluck

Answer 7

Where did you get these fish? Why didn't you realize you couldn't take care of them BEFORE you brought them home? 5 goldfish will need a 50 gallon tank with a good filter. They won't survive long in a bowl. Give the fish to someone who could care for them properly or take them back to the store.

Answer 8

to house it better get the biggest basin in your home and transfer your goldfish there and do daily water change of 20 percent and weekly of 50 percent just make sure it is a settled water of atleast 3 days.

Answer 9

depending on the size of a the fish, you may need a bigger tank, if they are carnival goldfish, a 10 gallon tank should be adequate, if they are something big like lion heads, or orandas or something like that... you should have gotten 3 of them, and spent the other 60 dollars on a tank and filter set up with gravel, plants, and a hiding place...

I will open up my IM for 10 minutes for you to use, give me one minute to open it up, when it is open, take the time to IM me and i will help you out with your problem some

Answer 10

5 goldfish need a minimum of a 60 gallon tank.  You can't tell s*x until the are mature which is about 3 to 4 years old and if you don't have the proper set up for them they won't make it 3 or 4 days so it won't matter.
