Can anybody give me the lowdown on goldfish?

What 5gall questoin? Anyway, forget about that. What fish can i have? A Betta? I've heard that they actually have personalitys!
 
A betta would be good in a five gallon. They have tons of personality.
As for any sort of indoor pond, a half whiskey barrel with a liner, or you could also buy the fake plastic ones, is one option. It would be a pond of about 20-25 gallons. You will need a pump and other accessories. Also, you could just use the liner and make a pond out of any sort of reservoir. In a pond setting, you will need a lot more water, so this wouldn't be adequate. Not for a couple full grown goldfish.

When you are thinking of an indoor pond, exactly what are you thinking of? I was thinking small, but you can build bigger ones if you have the space and money.

I really think Goldfish deserve as much care as any tropical fish, the same goes for a betta of Gourami, even though they are known to be hardy species they should never be kept in a Bowl or in a very small tank. So you have to get a bigger tank or pond, the bigger you can get is always the better, the same applies to a filter, it better to have a larger than recomended, and a Biofilter is essential, rembember you want your fish to thrive not just to survive.
