Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Male
I got a fish from the fair. Its orange, gender unknown. What do I feed it for the meantime, and how do I take care of it so it doesn't die. It's current habitat is a plastic bowl with a lid, probably the size of the ones people get at petsmart. Please help, I don't know what to do and it's currently using my sink water. I don't have BRITE or any water cleaner for it..

It sounds like you need to take a trip to your local pet store. The clerks there can help you pick out an appropriately size tank with proper filtration and heating that can help keep Sushi healthy. They can also let you know what water treatments you'll need for the water in your area, as well as test any water you bring it to see if it is OK for Sushi to live in. Pet stores will also carry commercial goldfish food which is a balanced diet that is given to them. It should have feeding instructions on it so you know how much is appropriate to give to Sushi.
