ugh....simple answers can be impossible to get on this website sometimes, it seems we must all pass a moral scrutinizing test before any answers are obtained.
Ok, we all got given a secret santa at random at college, the guy I got is a nice, quiet guy who once got teased (not bullied for you liberal wishy washy, we must wash everybody's feet type....just teased in a friendly manner) for loving goldfish excessively as he used to talk about his pet goldfish alot. Anyway time has passed on, the goldfish died of old age, and to my knowledge this guy still has the fish tank - and I have just added the brother of this guy on facebook to check they still have the fishtank.
I think a goldfish would be a funny present, and he also has the ability to cater for them, as I described above, so I was asking on here how to humanely carry out the task, and if it was indeed possible. Obviously the fish would need to live for a while in a cheap container, so I would like to know what would be good to use, and how much food to give it etc. I also wanted instructions on how to keep this fish alive until it was put into the fish tank, incase there were measures which had to be made to keep it alive after I had presented it as a gift, such as changing the water, feeding the fish, letting air to the water etc.
