Time out. They like to be kept in a smallish space??? Go find whoever told you that and kick them where it counts. Goldfish are very dirty and need a lot of space. The rule of thumb is 20 gallons for the first goldfish and 10 gallons more for each additional goldfish. For your 2 goldfish, you should have a 30 gallon minimum. They should also have aeration and heavy filtration. A well cared for goldfish should live 10-20 years. A poorly cared for goldfish will be blessed to survive more than 2. If you can't supply the necessary equipment to take care of your fish, you need to return them. The same goes for any pet. You should always do your research and have everything prepared BEFORE you get the pet.
