or is that cause no filter and no looking after them like freshwater fish. hmm!

I keep goldfish and have kept both freswater as well as saltwater fish. Saltwater fish are the hardest to keep alive and very costly. Most freshwater fish have very short life spands. Some only a year, guppies come mind. I have one of my goldfish as of this year is older than my grand daughter, that is over 6 1/2 years. It does depend on tank size, not over crowding, good tank maintance and most important of all, not over feeding. Oh yea, keep the cat out
