Do goldfish need gravel inside an aquarium?
Gravel is not essential for goldfish, but it can provide a natural environment and anchor plants in the aquarium.

Regular gravel cleaning is also necessary to maintain water quality.

Do pond goldfish eat pond snails?
Goldfish are omnivors and will eat very young snails that have not yet developed their hard shell. If you have pond snails in your cold water tank, you have a very hard problem to fix. The only reliable way to remove them is to strip the tank down and replace or boil all the rocks, and gravel. Then after a good rinse leave the gravel in the sun for a week or so to completely dry out. All your plants would have to be replaced because snail eggs are almost invisible and you would never be able to find them all. A hint. Never buy or collect plants from anyone if you even suspect there are water snails present.
How can I effectively maintain and keep a goldfish tank clean?
To effectively maintain a clean goldfish tank, regularly change 10-15 of the water every week, clean the tank decorations and gravel monthly, and use a good quality filter to remove waste and debris. Avoid overfeeding your goldfish and monitor water parameters like pH and ammonia levels to ensure a healthy environment for your fish.
Do goldfish need a water pump in the tank?
No they do not; having gravel or not is really the choice of the fish keeper as far as how they want the tank to look. You can certainly leave it bare bottomed as many goldfish keepers do to give the fish more swimming room and easier time cleaning the debris from the bottom of the tank each week.
