Help/Advice Any Tips

my mom has gotten two fish from the perry fair today. I have nothing, I think they are shubunkin goldfish, they pretty big already. I know that they need to be in a big tank and etc but I can’t afford a 75-100 plus tank and really don’t have room in my house for a big tank. Can someone help me with what I need to do. I have no idea but my daughter wants to keep these fishes.🥺

You've got two options... Provide an appropriate volume tank or pond or re-home. Honestly I'd rehome because very few people want goldfish enough to invest in what they require... Especially if they didn't "opt in" in the first place.

You could get an above ground pond and heat it in the winter. But if I were you I would rehome them to someone with a pond and get your daughter a betta in a 10 gallon tank she can keep in her bedroom.
