It should take about 90 minutes to acclimate your fish before removing from the bag. You first need to float the fish in the bag to slowly adjust the water temperature in the bag to the temperature in your tank, then you can start adding bits of your tank water into the bag of water to adjust the PH as there is likely to be difference.
Once this has been done, you can safely remove only the fish from the bag and dump the water from the bag into the sink rather than adding it to your clean tank water.

Assuming you have the fish in the proper recommended conditions for goldfish then the fish could easily live for 20 years or more and grow to over 14 inches long.

No. The water is bad and the bag is to small.

My son just brought a goldfish home from camp this afternoon but we do not have a tank so how soon do we have to get the correct set-up for this poor fish to have a chance?

4-8 hours in the sealed bag. Goldfish seem to live in any enviornment, for example you can freeze the bag with the fish in it, thaw it and wha-la, you still have a Goldfish (Yes this is true). Goto Walmart, get the $6 fish bowl.

When can you transfer your goldfish from indoors to outdoors?

I will suppose when you mean "outdoors" you mean of an outdoor pond in your backyard or something like that. I believe it will really be the same process as when you introduce goldfish to a new home right after when you buy them fresh from the petstore. Here a few steps to how to do it (I think):Get a transparent plastic bag or something like that of the sort.Go to your goldfish aquarium, or where your goldfish were previously.Carefully insert the bag into the aquarium, trying not to stress your fish out.Carefully let your fish into the bag without agitating them until you have all your goldfish int he bag or bags.Tie a knot on the top of the bag to make sure the goldfish don't jump out (if they can) or even if the bag accidently slips from your hand (Which will be terribly bad for your goldfish) everything won't just spill out (which would be a disaster).Carefully take your bag full of goldfish to the outdoor pond.Float the bag onto the water of the outdoor pond.Leave the bat half-submerged into the water for 20 minutes or more. This step if crucial, since your goldfish will be terribly surprised if they suddenly go into a weird environment or different temperature (and goldfish don't like surprises).Untie the bag.Slowly either poor the water out or let the goldfish go out of the untied bag themselves.Before doing step #10, make sure the extra water from the bag doesn't overflow your outdoor pond and that you have plenty of space for the excess water to enter.You are done!If you have other fish like koi or bigger fish in the pond, examine carefully, because the koi or bigger fish could harass the usually smaller sized fish around, and if this is true, I suggest that you take the goldfish out and put them into another home, because being harassed will stress the goldfish out.I hope I have been some help, and good luck transporting your goldfish to the outdoors! =)

How do you acclimatise your goldfish?

If you want to acclimate your goldfish into a new tank, do it slowly so the goldfish don't get stressed.set up your goldfish tank or pond in advance.Let the water cycle and establish beneficial bacteria that will help regulate the nitrogen cycle and help deal with the ammonia produced by a goldfish.Add a dechlorinator that will eliminate chlorine and chloramine.If you fill your tank with tap water, it will have one or both of these in the water. Don't bother buying fancy dechlorinators, just buy one that eliminates both.Float the bag filled with air and the goldfish into your aquarium water.Let the bag float for 30min until the water temperature inside the bag matches the water in the aquarium. Goldfish can die if there are rapid changes in water temperatures.Open the bag, let the water mix and slowly let the goldfish swim into its new home.Depending on the size of your tank, don't add more than a few goldfish at a time or your tanks ammonia levels might spike and kill all the goldfish in your tank. A cycled tank will help keep this from happening.


Does a fish live longer in a bowl or in a bag with holes in the top?

Neither. A 'fish bowl' is a terrible place for a fish, usually goldfish which are actually pond fish and can grow massive and live 20 yrs. However if it HAD to be one or the other, it'd be the bowl as there will be more gaseous exchange at the surface of the water than there would be in a bag, even with holes in.


What do you do with the goldfish when you change out the water?

Why do goldfish die with cold water?

Goldfish die in cold water because they are not used to the water tempurture. But if you put the fish in a bag and set the bagin the cold water the water in the bag and in the tank will be come the same tempurture.
