bf's goldfish, how did they die...? Options

[Chii]

okay, awhile ago my boyfriend won these goldfish at this fair thing, he kept them in his room and the next morning they died

he put them in a big tank/bowl, like the size of a big cake box, he gave them fish food and fresh water...it wasn't too cold or too hot, they had enough air around the tank...how could they have died?

**i looked for a pets forum but i didn't find one...is this where this belongs?

***i'm talking about this now because i was playing this game on yahoo which had goldfish

Since I had a goldfish and it never died on my for the last 3 months. Well it's 4 months, because I moved and I had to give it away to my friend. I miss my goldfish, Steve It's been 4 years I haven't seen him!! T__T

Anyways the Don't do's

1 -- Don't feed him a lot. feed him a pinch of the food.
2 -- Don't turn the lights off. They need a light. But not too bright. Maybe try and use blue light? Use a dark light... not so bright!
3 -- Don't give him an empty tank. Give the fish a toy or a little house for him to stay in. If you have nothing in it for it, it will make the goldfish bore itself out. Also put pretty colorful rocks! Do something creative!!!
4 -- Don't give them expired fish foods
5 -- Don't feed them foods when you have a dirty hands.
6 -- Don't feed them once a day.
7 -- Don't use the sink water/the bathtub water. use the water that they give you at the pet store.
8 -- Don't put no salts in the water. Some people put salt in the water cause they think they live in saltwater, so they put lots of salt >.<;
9 -- Give them a mate! or a friend by putting 2 or 3 more goldfish.
10 -- Don't leave them near a heater or the air conditioner.


So yeah... hehh...
