your goldfish need a filtered tank with a minimum of 10 gallon for one, not less then that, or you will soon have dead golfish

Answer 2

Well, a fish tank without filtration....everyday! Twice a week would be even bad. You really need a filtration system unless it's a small fish bowl!

Godlfish feeding should be once or twice a day.

Answer 3

that is just a bad seniro. A tank with no filter for a goldfish is bad news, if your going to make the decision to buy a goldfish, be responcible enough to buy a HOB flter, like a aquaclear or pengiun.

Goldfish dont belong in small tanks either, a good fish will need at least 55 gallons to fully grow, if you keep it in a small tank without a filter it cant possibly live for more than a month in those conditions,which is a shame as goldfish if properly cared for can live for 30 years.

But if you must ask, it should get a 20% water change everyday, as goldfish are very messy fishes and produce alot of ammonia.

You should feed fish once a day but small ammounts.


Overall,your looking at a bad situation, as without a filter on a goldfish tank is just crazy. Bad enough that the tank isnt probably 55 gallons, but with no filter...it is bad situation for the goldfish.

Answer 4

All tanks need filtration. If you have a tank with gold fish, most likely it is seriously over stocked (1 juvenile gold fish needs 10 gallons, 1 adult needs 20+ gallons) and they need excellent filtration. For example a 29 gallon tank, get a filter rated at 30 gallons as the minimum size, not maximum size. For example, not this: http://www.tetra-fish.com/sites/tetrafish/catalog/productdetail.aspx?id=1276&cid=277

Do a 25% water change with a gravel vacuum every week.

Answer 5

Since goldfish emit a bit of ammonia I suggest you replace 1/2 of their bowl water( you didn't say how big the tank or bowl was) once a week if large amount of fish once a month . feed them no more than they can eat in 5 min. twice a day.
I have some that have lived well over a year in my tank.
