I go to 6th form (for you Americans, it's like college, but in school, so we don't have to wear uniforms, etc) and realised today that someone's put a tank with a few fish in there. When the first years start they're always given a bit of money and told to go buy something to "improve" the room, and this is where I figure they came from.
I didn't notice there were fish in there before today because the water was so cloudy, but then one of the first years decided to clean them out (the fish were lovingly put in a cup while she did this). There's three smallish goldfish, and the tank is about 7" by 12". Also, people regularly throw balls around pretty violently in there, along with loud music which is on all day. The tank doesn't have an oxygen pump either.
I don't know anything about fish, so do goldfish generally need a pump, is the tank big enough and can fish by bothered by music? (I know they're underwater, but maybe the vibrations). I don't want to complain about this when their enviroment isn't actually bad, but also I've no idea if anyone's in charge of regularly feeding/cleaning them, the girl who did it today seemed to be doing it on some sort of whim.
I wanted to ask on here first, but now I feel crap because it's Friday so they might be there alone all weekend...
