In the
Bible there is a story about a man named Jonah who was swallowed by
a whale because he didn't do something God had asked him to do. When
Jonah was in the whale's belly he prayed to God and said he was
sorry. God then told the whale to spit Jonah out which the whale
did. The whole time Jonah was not hurt or afraid because he knew God
would always look after him.

Goldfish are the most common household pet in the world and
they are a great fish for beginners. Goldfish are a fairly
hardy species and are quite adaptable to different
temperatures, water and food. Considered cool water fish,
goldfish can grow to be quite large. Goldfish thrive in cool
water (62-72 degrees Fahrenheit) and should not be kept with
other tropical fish.
The absolute best companions for goldfish are other
goldfish. Goldfish are schooling fish and are really at
their best in groups of three or more.

Goldfish can be kept in a
bowl without filtered oxygen as long as it has a large opening. The more
water surface exposed to air, the more oxygen and gas will exchange,
resulting in enough air for your goldfish to breathe comfortably. If you
use a bowl, the water should be changed frequently (at least 50 percent
of the total water each week).
