Hey there, The PH should be between 6.8-7.2 but ideally it should be spot on 7. U should also use a chlorine neutralizer and water conditioner. Normal tap water damages the fish because of the chlorine stripping the natural slimy protective coating of the fish and could ultimately kill the fish. the hardness should be 100-150. Most aquariums or pet stores can check the PH and Hardness for you if you are unsure of how to do it or cant afford the test kits. temp isn't all that important coz U can have them in a tropical (approx 25 degrees) or coldwater tank. But if u don't have a heater they will be fine at a steady room temp. Be careful of fluctuating temps. And if u have any questions, ask ur local aquarium. Hope that's helped mate

What kind of water does the Goldfish have to have Salt Water or just Clean Water?
It just needs to be clean I don't know if a goldfish can even live in salt water. I always put the ones I've had in tap water that set out for a day or two I don't know wye it needed to sit out for a couple of days before putting the fish in it but that's how my mom always did it so I figured it was probably for a good reason. I actually had one goldfish that lived for like 4 or 5 years that's a long time for a goldfish. Goldfish need to be kept in fresh water, they are not made to live in salt water. preferably, keep them in spring or kangen water. By the way, you mom left the water out for a day or two to get it to be room temperature. Goldfish need to live in water the temperature of 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit.

If it is a small goldfish, it will physically fit in something that small. But, it will not live very long in it.

A larger tank, ideally 20 gallons or more, is recommended for a goldfish to live comfortably.
