No, you should not release them into your local waterways see this post on invasive goldfish. You should to friends or someone that owns a goldfish pond and give the fish to them.

I’m not sure what size tank you have but ten goldfish in a tank can get a bit crowded. You will need to perform partial water changes often to remove ammonia from the water. Additionally, if you see leftover food in the tank after feeding, remove it so it doesn’t dirty the water further.

A one quart bowl is small and yes, you will need to change the water daily. I would strongly recommend a larger bowl or tank so you don’t have to change the water daily. The larger the tank, the less often you will need to change the water. when you do change the water, make sure to use a dechlorinator Also, don’t overfeed it because un eaten food or excessive waste in the water will dirty the bowl faster. best of luck with your new goldfish

Yes, you should but make sure you only add as many drops needed for the amount of water you changed. You wouldn’t want to add the same amount of dechlorinator as you would when you first filled your tank up.

Hi! I won a goldfish at a carnival the other day. He’s very tiny, only an inch long aprroximately. Anyways, I don’t have a lot of room and the lady at the pet store said it was okay to keep him in a 1 quart bowl. So he’s in there now, and only after a day the water already seems to be dirty. Will I have to change the water daily in this bowl? Any things I could do to help make it less dirty? Thanks!

Should i add a dechlorinator if i only changed 25-30% of the tank water?

Some goldfish have protruding eyes to begin with, the telescope or globe eye types do. If it is a eye problem though, you can try to use some aquarium salt to help relieve some of the swelling. Read about some of the eye diseases here and figure out if your fish has any of the symptoms for the given issue. You most likely would be able to use a broad spectrum medication for a bacterial infection.
