Lisa, your fish are certainly more alive and active than ours are. The tank seemed clean too. I believe you. Maybe you got some supernaturally clean goldfish? 
Sarah, thanks. I might take you up on that...
ok...just let me know (I will never use it...like I said, I like my own testing kit and will replace it when I need to).
Lisa....if you clean the bottom of your tank you will be amazed the junk that comes out of those rocks!!!! Our tank is clean looking too, but it is still "filthy" deep down in the rocks. Everything settles to the bottom and I am always amazed how much settles down there when we clean it out (which we have to do today!!!)

We have both...a filtration system and a tube that goes to a large bubble stone in the bottom of the tank.
The filtration system is great but I also like to put air pumps in the water too. what kind of cleaning equipment to you have. normally for a 10 gallon tank you only really need 1 air pump but I do prefer a 20 gallon anyway in which you need 2 air pumps. I kept a 20 gallon tank with healthy fish for about 2 years. If you any more questions it might easier if you called us I can help you a lot better and I can help you better.
oh yeah one more thing I really do not like to buy fish from walmart I prefer to buy them from a real fish store they tend to last a little longer.

Having had fish most of the time that I was growing up, I am very aware that junk can build up in the gravel. I do keep an eye on that, but it hasn't been a problem. Really.

that is great....you have great, easy fish then!!!! Ours right now has a good balance of great fish...it doesn't have to have much maintenance....but in the past we have had some lousy combos of fish that required much more then what we do right now.

Cindy,
You are more than welcome to see the set up that I have here. I promise that I won't clean my fish tank before your visit next month. You can decide for yourself whether I am out of my mind
Ummm, I think I already know the answer to that one.

or just a filthy person
Nope.

or am being honest here about our experience with goldfish.
Well, knowing you, I bet that's the answer. Jesse and I will definitely look at your tank when we get there. My first inclination was a couple of goldfish and work up from there. I really don't care much what we get, other than I don't want to have to spend a ton of money and I want him to have a good experience. We did have fish when I was a kid, but my dad pretty much took care of them so I don't really remember much about them. I just remember him getting all excited when the guppies had babies.
