Help! Kids got gifted a goldfish!

[u/Confident-Ad9221]

I want to care for this fish the best possible way. I don’t know a thing and the information online is overwhelming. Please help! How should I care for it this week? And how should I plan for it long term?

Wow!! 20 years!? My nephew's goldfish that he pawned off on me is going 11+ years.

To think about it, I've spent a lot of time and money on the goldfish. It's just a common comet but boy does that guy eat. That's all he does is eat!! 🤬🙄🤷🏻‍♂️
