i need to keep it in a 1 gallon tank

Answers:

DO NOT buy a goldfish! DO NOT put him in a ONE gallon tank! that is absolutely ridiculous! goldfish can grow up to a foot and a half and live for 30+ years if kept properly. one gallon is NOT the proper housing for one of those guys. DO NOT CONSIDER A GOLDFISH!

get a betta fish. they last 2 or more years. bettas and guppies are your ONLY choice for a one gallon tank. THE ONLY CHOICE.

guppies only live for about 2 years also, but the breed like crazy.

What ashley said is saltwater fish and you can find them at petco or petsmart, but goldfish live up to 3 years. these fish live that long with proper care. Ask about the life-expand from the workers about the fish there.

The only thing you can keep in a one gallon tank is one regular gold fish. They live to be about 15 years old if you maintain a good healthy environment. You will need to change the water in the tank once a week and you can get information from the library on gold fish and tank maintenance. You will have to limit the amount of food you give the fish too. You will want to feed it something almost every time you look at it. But resist and only feed a little flake food once every other day.Your local pet shop can also help you but remember they are in the business of selling. So always check out the library or the Internet for information on fish and tank maintenance.Good luck

Like what myself and a few others answered on your last question, it would have to be a betta. That is the only fish that stands a chance at surviving in that tiny 1 gallon tank.
