They are feeders.

doesnt matter. feeders can get to be 12-14 inches long.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CYCLING? you must have tests for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates.
you must keep changing water as long as ammonia and nitrites are above barely
detectable and whenever nitrates gets over 20 ppm. Ingrid

How often should I completely clean out the tank and wash everything? I
know not to use soap.

No, I don't have a test kit.

you never clean out the tank and wash everything unless you put gravel in the bottom.
you might consider some plain pea gravel (dont get that colored stones sold in pet
stores). altho I dont normally recommend gravel, in your case with 2 fish in there
you might need some gravel.

have you found out yet about "the cycle" or cycling a tank?

I read about cycling, but I'm just a novice.
The petstore manager said 2 goldfish were fine for such a small tank.
But then I bought a 5 gallon.

I have shells, gravel and river stones in there.
