Answers:

If you want to keep it, the information is available on net about all. Good one is www.fishlore.com

If you do not want it, give it to a friend for adoption or leave it any lake or well.

For keeping here are some tips

1. Water:- do not use tap water directly, its clorinated. Stale water (kept open for 4 days) is ok. Or u can use de-clorinator. Never change total water in bowl. You can replace maximum 20% of it. Removing old water can be done by syphoning. Same can remove stool.

2. Food :- Thumb rule is give food that is consumed in 5 minutes. Its said that pet fishes are killed more by overfeeding than starvation. You can get worms, daphnias in pet shops. Dry food can just keep it alive. Growth results are not so great by dry food.

3. Cleaning:- Put a small water tube in bowl. Suck the water from other end. Water will get drained from bowl. All dirt from bowl can be sucked thru.
