Although pet shops may sell them, Rock pebbles are probably not a good idea in any aquarium because food bits and 'Poo' that falls to the bottom, drops and slides between the pebbles and then the food bits can not be eaten by the fish or the Poo be collected or even syphoned out. So the rubbish stays in the pebbles and fouls/poisons the water. Fairly fine river gravel is the best substrate for most aquaria. Plants can grow in it and any mulm or rubbish tends to sit on top where it can be seen and easily removed by syphoning.

∙ 13y agoYou don't need rocks in you fish tank. It's just a decoration. You should have some decorations in the fish tank, so the fis's won't feel lonely. I know it sounds silly, but it's the truth. Another way to allow them not to be lonely is by adding another fish to the tank ot bowl.
You should have some gravel in the bottom so it doesn't always look dirty. leftover food and fish waste settle there.

Normal rocks are not healthy for gold fish. Although you can use them as long as you clean the rocks before you put them in your fish tank. There are lots of harmful things on rocks that can get your fish really sick, if you have expensive fish your best bet is to use the rocks that you get from your local fish store. I had some of the same type of fish you had and i did not listen to someone telling me the same thing I'm telling you and all of my fish died i would not want the same thing happening to you. I wish you luck on your fish tank
