Q: i got goldfish at a carnival and i want them to stay alive. what should i do to help them be alive and happy without spending a lotta money? how can i tell if one is a girl or boy? (one is orange and one is greyish). if one is a girl and one is a boy, if i get tank plants will they have a bigger chance of having babies?

any other extra info would help
thanks

I got a goldfish like over a month ago and i'm suprised its still alive. Haha. But it is so I have some tips. Change the water once a week. Give them a new oxygen stone once a month. Feed them once a day with a pinch of food.
About the breeding and telling the gender..
