I agree that pet stores that sell fish, are usually manned by a few nhigh school kids with little or no knowledge of fish, but if you can find a business that is all about aquariums & fish, supplies, etc. you should be okay. We have a local store where it's nothing but aquariums & their tenants & these guys know every fish in there, their feeding habits, plants, etc.
As JaimieSkye, I won a goldfish at the county fair, & ours lived to be close to 9 years & we never had a filter. That said, my sister & I frequently changed the water & he had a nice life in his bowl.
