Please do not ever recommend Goldies for a small tank in the future.
It's inhumane.

Oh please, if you want to go there... keeping ANY fish in ANY tank is
inhumane. I'll give any advise that I want to. I think you will find that
most fish do not live as long as you think they should be living no matter
how well you care for them. I don't think feeder goldfish living 7-8 years
is that bad. Geez. Go get on someones case that has some poor goldfish in
a bowl, or the people who keep bettas in a little bowl.
