It's probably a goldfish, correct me if I'm wrong. But your gonna have a lot of work ahead of you if it is.

What type of fish is it?
What do you have it in?
Did you dechlorinate the water?
What are you feeding it?

I can understand where your coming from, but if you don't plan on caring for it properly it wasn't the best idea to post it on a fish forum, but you are still welcome

Can you post a picture?
Do you plan on getting a fish tank?

I assume goldfish. If so, I would try getting him a proper sized home before anything. Do you have any spare tanks by chance? Also, here's a good read:

And if it is a goldfish, another thing to read:http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f12/goldfish-a-psa-153329.html

Hope this helped! Good luck

All I suggest with that money is a decent-sized tank for the goldfish (like as in 55 gallons) a real good filter (AquaClear 110 is both affordable and effective) some gravel, a good API Freshwater Master Test Kit, and Prime dechlorinator or any other good brand. The rest is all up to what you want. If you can't get that big of a tank for him, unfortunately all I could suggest is donate him to a friend or neighbor's pond

You can try looking on Craig's list to see if they have any 55 cheap. Just make sure you see it before you buy it so you know if there are any cracks or other problems
