goldfish care

[emeraldmaster]

I would like some advice. I bought 2 of walmart's common goldfish without knowing how to care for them. I wanted something other than a betta this time! They are in a 10 gallone Nanocube tank with a filter and no heater, 70*F thanks to the light. I feed them flakes for goldfish. What else is there to keeping goldfish?

2 common goldfish will run you 100 gallons of tank space. Temp is good. Feeding, pellets are better than flakes generally speaking, don't feed too much. Is the tank cycled?

yes it is. i'll see about the pellets! and they were going to get a tank upgrade when i could afford it, though i didn't know that it would be a 100 gal! they are only 1 inch long right now so i felt that the only spare tank, the 10 gal, was a good enough temp. home... thank you!
