My daughter has 2 goldfish. She won them at a carnival 6 years ago and they are still going strong. She keeps them in a 5 gallon tank with a filter. I have always gotten my children fish as a first pet. They learn the responsibility of feeding and caring for a pet. I teach them to clean the tank by themselves. As far at the above post talking about bettas being easier to care for than goldfish, I personally haven't had any luck with them. I'm sure there was something I wasn't doing right, but I'm not sure what it was.
