• Aquarium Stand -  Water is very heavy, so your fish tank needs a strong base to sit on. The safest option for your pet is anaquarium standdesigned to handle the weight of a fish tank. 
• Substrate - When it comes to the substrate you will put at the bottom of the tank,aquarium gravel is the best option for fancy goldfish. Use about 1-2 inches of gravel on the bottom of the tank. Gravel comes in all different sizes and shapes so that you can make your tank look precisely how you want it to. Always rinse new aquarium gravel with tap water before putting it in the tank. This will remove any excess dirt attached to it, so that it doesn't dirty the water

You can buy water conditioners and water testing kits to make sure your aquarium is in perfect condition for your pet.

• Fish Tank Filter - Anaquarium filter is designed to help keep your pet’s water clean. Filters need to be powerful enough to process all of the water in the tank several times every hour. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the size of your tank to know what kind will work best.
• Fish Tank Cleaning Supplies - Even with a filter, your fish tank will need to have regular maintenance done, like partial water changes and filter cleaning. Usefish tank cleaning supplies like algae scrubbers to remove algae build-up from your pet’s tank.
• Aquarium Décor - Decorating your fish’s tank is one of the best parts of bringing them home. You get to choose aquarium plants, backgrounds, ornaments and otheraquarium décor that showcase your personality and make your fish feel at home. Fancy goldfish might try to eat live plants, so it’s best to use fake ones. Always rinse the decor before putting it in the tank.
