How do i keep a goldfish alive with out a fish tank

Carla,
Use the cleanest, biggest tub you have around the house (like a
Rubbermaid) or new unused bucket, or get one of those clear tubs with a
lid. If dish detergent, cleaners, or gunky stuff was stored in it,
forget it and go for brand new that's at least 5 gallons capacity.

Go to pet store or pet department of Walmart and buy a bottle of dechlor
to get the chlorine out of your tap water.

Put clean, fresh water that has been treated with the dechlor into the
tub. FLOAT your fish in a little plastic bag or other container that
will float to equalize the temperature and after 15 minutes or so, let
him in.

If you can afford it, get a small WHISPER internal filter (about $12-$18
bucks at Walmart) to filter the water. It will hang on the inside of
the tub.

That should hold you until you decide what to do.
