Answer 1

Theres a lot of hiding spots and places for goldfish and u can even create one by yourself. U can use some caves, rocks, live or fake plants or some pots.

Yes u can use some cup, the plastic ones, these are safe for goldfish just wash them throughly when putting it on aquarium. U could try to decorate the cup by giving some rocks around it or some live or fake plants. It will look great.

No need to go to pet store, u can by yourself make some decorations, U can make some caves out of ur rocks, or u can buy lots of live and fake plants and ur goldfish might like it. I myself made a cave out of rocks and put it in my aquarium, my goldfish liked it and always goes through them or sometimesd hide in it.

PS: Wash anything throughly before putting it to ur aquarium. For more information search the internet.  

Answer 2

I've got a tunnel that i got from the pet shop!! it really works, my goldfish love it and their in there all the time!!! Don't use anything from your garden though cause i read somewhere that they have something in them that can harm the fish!

Hope this helps x

a skull, miniature skull or a hollow rock they always seem to be popular choices.

Answer 5

If they are small, connector tubes for hamster cages.

I use driftwood from the pet store. Get bigger pieces with "limbs" um..not just a straight stick..you know. lol and lean it against the glass, prop it up on a decoration or buy a few pieces of driftwood.
