How to keep small goldfish alive?
Keeping goldfish alive requires a properly sized tank, suitable water, and controlled feeding. Goldfish prefer slightly alkaline water (pH 7.5 to 8.0) at 18 to 25 C with partial water changes every 3 to 7 days. Feed one to two times daily in small amounts, since goldfish will overeat if given too much.
