It would be good to have sand instead of stones as the fish llike to dig around in the sand and they like to eat all the little backteria things in it and spit it back out again.
They also like bits of Driftwood or wood that you can buy at pet stores. They like little objects to swim around and hide in so a fish bowl isn't a good idea unless you have a rather large one to fit bigger things in.
In my fish tank I put live plants in - but after about a month the fish had nibbled of a leaf as they sometimes consider live plants as food. You can also put fake plants in which are probably more recommended as you can get a wider range of colour and they are also slightly cheaper (I think!).
These are the basics of a fish tank, and you can also put rocks in there too to make it look smore natural. (If you go into a pet shop, they normally have little ornaments in there too. These are nice for little children.)
Hope This Helps!!!!!!!!!!

Goldfish need water to swim and breath in, not mud. There are some species of fish that have evolved to survive in mud but Goldfish are not one of those species.
A swordtail is a tropical fish and a goldfish is not. The swordtail would need a higher temp. than the goldfish. Depending on where you live it probably wouldn't survive the winter.
no
No.
the temperature range goldfish need is 68-72 degrees. while some goldfish might be able to survive lower temperatures around the 50s, its not optimum.
yes
Yes, goldfish can survive without food for two days.
In nature there are many kinds of tiny macropods, microscopic algaes and other things in the water when goldfish breed in spring under normal/wild conditions. These 'baby goldfish foods' can be purchased at most good pet shops
No you mook
goldfish will survive in tap water but it is best to put a bit of chlorine control in the water plus you will need a filter if you want the water and tank to stay cleaner for longer :)
Goldfish
Goldfish are freshwater fish and can not survive in saltwater environments (oceans, etc) They can only survive in freshwater (non saltwater such as ponds, rivers, and lakes).
