The meaning of coldwater is that the tank does not have a heater. You should still have a filter, and do water changes and all, but it is basically room temperature water.

not room temp, because room temp is usually around 22 degrees celsius, or 72 degrees F, coldwater is actually going to be cooler than room temp. White cloud mountain minnows and common goldies actually like it more around 60-70 degrees F or so.

pearlscale goldies, just like all goldies, will get very large and need a lot of room, and poop like crazy, but if you're up to that part of keeping them then you're all set Pearlscales are a little more e to illness, as most of the fancier types of goldies are, but you're right, they are freaking cute! Just make sure not to get the dyed variety an awesome goldie site is
