ok this is a two part question first of all i wanna make sure I have everything i need for my new goldfishes

Food- Tetra goldfish flakes, sun-dried shrimp
Water conditioner
Bacteria supplement
fish net
high powered filter
cave
decorative marbles for gravel
aquarium

Is there anything else i need?

Also my one fishes name is bubbles and i have no idea what to name my other one
 
Sounds good to me, you could add an air stone.
 
What size tank is this?
 
Save money and buy a bigger tank. 2 goldfish will outgrow a 10g tank in no time.
 
Ten gallons is all I can have. Dorm regulations. But I'm gonna see if anyone I know has a pond I can release them into. I just wanna be sure I'm doing everything I can for them for now.
 
Gravel cleaner/siphon for water changes? :)
 
i'll definetly do that :) what plants are best for my goldfish? I want something they wont eat but live or silk( i refuse to use plastic because they can be so rough on the fish) i want something they wont eat. and that is extremely hardy ... i was thinking anacharis.
 
Anacharis is a good plant if you are looking for a goldie salad bar. Some will eat it, and some won't. The advantage is that it grows quickly and is easy to find. If you are looking for plants for decor and water parameter control, a small amazon sword will work while they are young, but will probably also become a salad bar as they get older. Good luck! I know how hard you are working to keep these fish happy!
 
thanks Somervell :) I love the little guys :) I heard java fern are good but are they also for tropical water?
