queenhearts answered Thursday May 1 2008, 1:52 pm: Change the water 1-2 times a week. I had 3 goldfish die quickly because no one would help me clean it. If the water changes color slightly, you need to change it. It's not healthy for fish to swim in their own poo XD Because they will end up eating it and getting sick.

rowan answered Wednesday April 30 2008, 8:23 pm: I believe the water may be an issue. I went and looked on an informational site and it stated that if the water is dirty, and it stays dirty over a period of time, it CAN eventually kill the fish. A year old is VERY young for a goldish, seeing as it is not uncommon for them to live to be 10 years of age. So I suggest cleaning the water VERY SOON, if not immediatly.
Hope this helps! And heres a good website if you need some more help [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
