Or any other methods?

I would take it back to where you bought it. Or to a local pet store. They might take them and care for them, resale them if you just want to give them up. Or you might be able to get store credit for something else. Don't be cruel, that will kill your fish...

Most definatly do not flush them or release them into the wild. Goldfish are carp and will prey on smaller native fish as well as stuffing up the rest of the ecosystem. Give them to a friend, back to the petshop or your school might take them.

please don't flush those poor, innocent goldfish down the toilet. this isn't like Finding Nemo or any other movie where all drains lead to the ocean; flushing live goldfish down a toilet will kill them. instead, try offering them to a friend, neighbour or relative. if that doesn't work, then sell them.

Howabout you give it up for adoption or ask a friend if they would like it? I think it would be horrible to just flush a live fish. That makes me really sad to hear that =( So I really suggest just asking around and see if someone wants it, or give it back to a petstore that could sell it to another owner.

Well, you technically could, but...........that is so cruel, even for fish! I mean, think of where they are going alive! No way to help themselves or escape. And you did it! I had them too and didn't want them any more but found people to take them. I couldn't do the flush.

Well, you are condemning them to certain death if you flush them. Contrary to Finding Nemo, all drains do not lead to the ocean (or open water), they lead to treatment plants where the fish would be subjected to harsh chemical sanitizers and mechanical filtration systems that would likely rip them to shreds.

MY DEAR SWEET LORD! DONT DO IT!
theyre living beings! dont flush them! you think someone can survive in fecal matter? i dont understand, sweetie. are you asking if its okay for THE FISH to flush them?will they survive? NO! they wont survive! if you decide you dont want them, put up an ad on craig's list.. free goldfish. even if they go to someone who'll use them as feeders, thats sooooo much better than flushing them and completely wasting them! dont flush them!

Don't put it in the lake, goldfish are basically carp and are a horrible fish living in any good fishing or swiming lakes.

See if a fish store will take it. If not, find someone with a pond and see if they will take him. That's just cruel to flush a live fish.
