How long can goldfish survive in still water2007-11-24 23:33:50Answers:

Goldfish can live for a very long time. many years. If they only last a week something is very wrong. They are dirty fish and with still water I would immagine they would need very frequent water changes. at least partial ones. I had two terribly small one gallon tanks with one goldfish in each. those had little undergravel filters and airpumps. all I had to do was take out 30% of the water and replace it once or twice a week and the tanks never looked dirty.

I bet if you took out some water maybe 30 to 50% and replaced it with fresh water each day or every other day they would last quite a while.. goldfish are pretty hardy. but they do need certain care. especially lots of oxygen. a lot of people who raise them will say they should have 10 gallons of water each, but a lot of people keep them well with less water.

anyways. I've learned that the best easiest way to keep your fish alive and the water looking nice is to replace some of the water often. but it would be better if there was some sort of filtration system to break down their wastes. smaller aquariums arent very expensive anymore. between 12 to 20 dollars at WalMart.

I probably over answered this question! Sorry!

Depends on how oxygenated the water was when you added it. Probably not more then a week. Please dont try it, its so sad to let the poor fish suffocate, and 10 gallon fish tank setups are only 30 dollars at Wal-mart.

I don't know but whatever you do don't use highland spring sparkling

Mine lived for a week. But sometimes it depends on how old they allready are when you buy them.

if u keep the water clean, make sure u use anti-chlorine drops, they can live 4 a long time. gold fish get there o2 from gulping the top of the water. good luck
