Get a tank if you have the space. A nice huge tank 6-8f long and you can have a good few goldies. Once setup big tanks are not difficult to keep at all, way easier than a small tank. A cold water tank is even cheaper. Just get a python for the water changes, buckets will kill you
You don't have to plant it as the plants may get eaten, that saves you on expensive lights and second hand big tanks can come buy very cheap as not many people dare buy these.
