Disclosure
Affiliate disclosure
Plain answers about money, links and recommendations.
The short version
Some links on gold.fish, mainly in the buying guides, may in future be affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission from the retailer. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes what we recommend or how we describe it.
Where the links are
Commercial links appear only in clearly labelled buying guides and on product cards within them. Care guides, breed profiles, health pages and tools contain no affiliate links. Where a care guide points you to a buying guide, it says so in the sentence ("our buying guide to filters").
At the time of writing, the retailer links on this site are plain search links and do not earn anything. When affiliate links are introduced, the links themselves will carry a rel="sponsored" attribute and this page will be updated.
How recommendations are made
Products are chosen for how well they suit goldfish specifically: turnover and gentle flow for filters, sinking formats for fancy goldfish food, precision for test kits, footprint for tanks. Each recommendation is labelled as researched, editorial opinion, or tested by us, and we never claim hands-on testing that has not happened. Commission rates play no part in the choice.
Sponsored content
We do not currently publish sponsored content. If that changes, any sponsored product or page will be labelled "Sponsored" where it appears, and sponsored placements will never be presented as editorial recommendations.
Advertising
gold.fish does not currently display advertising. If advertising is introduced, it will be placed where it does not interrupt reading, and advertisers will have no influence over editorial content.
