put ur tank away from direct sunlight or sound systems, your tank needs to be near plug sockets.
1.Thouroughly clean the gravel, ornaments and sindes of your tank with warm water, (DO NOT USE SOAP)
2.set up your filter and air stone in the tank.
3. dose water with nitrate killing stuff that you can usually buy in all pet shops
4. add the water carefully as not to move the gravel at the bottom
5.leave your tank for about a week to settle before adding any fish
6. buy one or two little fish to see if they survive, if they are ok you can start to any other fish.

Does a goldfish have live fish birth?
Goldfish are egg-spawners. If you want to breed them, you need: * two aquariums--a 20-gallon spawning tank, and a 10-gallon grow-out tank. Neither one should have gravel or a filter in it. * a male and a female goldfish, both at least three years old * baby goldfish food Put about three inches of water in the grow-out tank. Put the adult goldfish in the spawning tank. When the goldfish are ready to spawn, the male will chase the female all over the tank. When she gets tired enough, she will scatter eggs all over the tank, and the male will spray his milt all over the tank. The milt will turn the water cloudy. Now for the fun part: you have to wait until the water clears, then scoop up all the eggs and put them in the other tank. Goldfish will eat their own eggs. Then cover the other tank, wait until they hatch, and start feeding the little fish.
