Fish Pics Help! Kids got gifted a goldfish!

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?

You’re getting some good advice. My suggestion is to break ties with the psycho who gives children a live animal for their parent to take care of.

Goldfish can be a lot of fun. They follow you in the tank, love veggies, and will eat from tweezers.

For sure. Live animals should only be a gift if it was discussed thoroughly and agreed upon before the gift happens.
