Well it has test tubes, two bottles of liquid, and two test strips.
That will be good enough for goldfish. It isn't a platinum arowana here, lol

Yeah I think the one at my walmart will suffice, it has two drop bottles, and a test tube, and two strips to match up to on a chart.

I believe the instore one will be good enough to test for ammonia for goldfish.
Its about 10$ in the store.
There is also a ph test with a dropper bottle and a test tube and strip.
EDIT:*************
This is exactly what is in Walmart. And this is what i will buy tomorrow.

A person who buys a platinum aro is more than likely going to give top notch care to their fish.
In all honesty, it's a $5 goldfish, we can't make him care for it like he would an aro.
He's doing what he can.. give him some credit for that.

Haha somehow I don't think the care would change even for an asian aro.
Excuse me for taking offense...I have 4 tanks, 1 of which is a 125g dedicated to only fancy goldfish and "in all honesty" whether I paid $5 or $500 for any of my fish, they ALL get top notch care!
Don't get me wrong, I think they should all get the same care, but some fish keepers will think differently...
I have fancy goldfish, as well as your typical comets, and they get the best care that I can give them. My fish obsession started with 2 goldfish to which I have to this day and are both well over 12".
I just think this person was maybe a bit offended with the "you won't get them at walmart, I already told you that." comment.
I mean, he's new at this... there was no need for that motherly comment.
Give him credit where credit is due.
In all honesty, if you were only allowed to do one water change a week and it was goldfish or aro... MOSt people would pick aro. It's not right, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles.
