My colleague who would be traveling to overseas decided to leave 5 of his beloved goldfish with me when he would be away. Knowing that the poor fish might suffer in the absence of their owner, the way I lost some of my fishes when I was in overseas, I agreed to house his goldfish in my empty tank that I called the "fish hotel". Perhaps, it's a good idea for me to start a fish hotel business one day :)
I had to ask for my colleague to bring along his filter because I didn't have any spare filter and my air pump was already damaged. I also asked him to bring along the favourite fish food because I wanted the goldfish to be comfortable with the food they're used to. I had also tried my best to set up the same water parameter as my colleague's tank to reduce the stress of the goldfish in a new environment.
Although I am not a fan of goldfish, I hope my experience with my father's goldfish and my in-law's goldfish will come in handy. Let's hope all the 5 goldfish will remain alive under my care till the owner is back at the end of February 2009.
I left the bags of goldfish floating in the tank when I enjoyed my shower:
The goldfish were released into the tank after I finished my shower:

Thanks so much. They looked pretty happy there. Anyway I don't think there is extra attention required for goldfish as compared to other fish.
Oh yes, there is! Food...and more food. Goldfish are "water pigs" as you know...haha
oh what a great idea - Fish Hotel... i'd be sending mine there if i live in the state!
Constance, state? I hope you're not referring to the United States coz I live in Selangor state in Malaysia :)
I often refer to the United States when I mention "the state" :) Maybe I got you wrong..haha
