Goldfish do not need running water, but they do need a filter that cycles the tank water through filter media. In addition, you need to change at least 50% of the tank water each week making sure that the new water is the same temperature as the old water, and that you add in the recommended dosage of water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle.
