I think they are generically helpful, but do not share a species matrix as sub-species can be wildly different than a general species level (ex; there is some community-level aggression of African cichlids and then…
I check on my fish every day.
I have been surprised by some of the dramatic shifts in color I’ve seen with healthy fish as they age.
This is true I suppose. The more you pay, the more inclined you are to care for them. I don't think this is the reason the prices have gone up so much though. I would guess it has to do with inflation and import fees. I…

Colorful vs. Dull Fish
Your aquarium would look like a moving painting and a work of art. You painted such a nice image! (see what I did there?)
Goldfish live long and are easy to maintain. You can choose Angel also, but it requires special care. Oscars on the other hand are easy to maintain and they too live longer. Oh yeah, oscars are great!
The price was just the shipping. The fish themselves, those are anywhere from $35 to well over $100! So say I find one for $35, I still have to pay $65 PLUS tax for a single fish! Wow, over $100 is brutal!

Goldfish require a lot of work, but I like that they can live for such a long time, so I keep them.

Hardest fish to keep?
I agree with Quicksilver that shrimp are quite a pain.

Fish species?
@cy.paul, did you ever confirm whether they are indeed gold barbs?
You can’t go wrong with tetras in general, but my favorite right now are harlequin rasboras.
I know I’ve had a goldfish last a good long time before, but I don’t remember exactly how many years.

Colorful vs. Dull Fish
I voted for both because I think there are a lot of different attributes that can make a fish interesting beyond just how bright and colorful it looks.
The price you mention is about what I tend to see for these types of fish; I have never seen them for cheap.
Wow, that's really fascinating!
This is super helpful!
I've never tried before. Curious to read more responses on this.
