I will be writing this on my experience.Everybody likes to keep a Goldfish but they don't know the hard work behind the it.On the internet and wikis you will find that Goldfish want a 10 gallon tank per fish well that's an analysis based upon their whole life cycle. Because Goldfishes can grow up to 6 inch and over a feet with lots of careBut you can keep 2 pairs of goldfishes in a 15 gallon tank till they are 5 inch big.

Feeding timmingThrice a dayMorning pellets, Evening Peas, veggies(sometimes bloodworms too) and in night Tetra bits.I never leave the food floating on the water.

Have a tetra planted aquariumIf this is your first aquarium, I would not suggest a goldfish. They pollute a lot and need big tanks with very good filtration. I would suggest a small 2X1.5X1.5 ft tank with internal power filter and a aquarium heater.You can stock them with mollies and guppies, these are very good low maintenance fish. They are very colourful, hardy, can withstand travails of a new tank. They are breed very easily then give you the joy of lots of baby fish.I wrote this article on setting up a new tank, you can go through it. Set up New TankKeeping an aquarium in home is a great thing. You can watch the aquatic life, feel the growth of your fishes and just watch them to relax.Now you can either buy an aquarium or make yourself one. If you buy one, it will cost around 2000–4000 rs depending on the size of your aquarium. Sellers provide complete setup for your aquarium, like they provide filter, stones, air pump and all that with the aquarium. They may provide some fishes for you too for free along with the aquarium.

If you decide to make yourself one, then you need to think about the dimension of the aquarium you need and go to buy the glasses of the dimensions you need. Be careful in mentioning your dimensions to the shopkeeper.Now once you have bought the glass,you need the adhesive to fix glasses together. The commonly used adhesive is silicone. So you need to buy silicone gel along with silicone gun(You can buy them online if you find it difficult finding it). Now here is the toughest part. You need to fix the glasses together with the silicone and leave it to dry for about 48–72 hours. The more time you give it to fix the more strong the bonds will be.Now common goldfishes are the easiest to handle. If you buy the commons,you should know how to feed them the pallets (ask how much to feed them from the shop owner where you bought these pallets).Now the most peaceful type of goldfish is shubunkin.They don't attack other fishes, are beautiful, are good for beginners in my opinion..I will ask you to stay away from types of goldfishes such as black moor, oranda as they require care and are not suitable for beginners..
