Question
I just got an Aqua Tank as a gift (1.66 gallons)and I have no clue how to get started. I know  that I don't want tropical fish as heard they are a lot of work so I have been looking at gold fish .Please help me on the start up and care. Thank yoU.  

Answer
Hi, all you need to do is add clean tap water, then just 1 or 2 small goldfish to put in, make sure to add rocks and a plant, which may be bought at your local pet store.Finally simply buy some normal godfish flakes or pellets.The tanlk should also be cleaned once every 3 weeks.THANKS!
