    by purifier I assume you mean filter? what exactly is your filter like? most filters have the charcol so it can’t fall into the water. if it does it’s not huge deal, it won’t harm the fish.

    are you also asking how to care for goldfish?

    Goldfish are very dirty fish you can NOT overfilter their water. They produce more amonia than other freshwater fish so Weekly 30% water changes at minimum for best results. If the charcoal has fallen it is ok to put it back it wont hurt anything. make sure you replace the charcoal regularly. WIth gold fish it is also a very good idea to have an air stone or bubbler in the tank to help add O2

    Loose charcoal that has fallen into the tank poses no threat to your fish. You will need to get more charcoal for your filter if you choose to run it taht way. Your tank doesn’t really need charcoal to run properly so if you don’t have any, don’t worry about it.

    Also, just be sure you feed your fish a high protein low fat diet. They will be fine.

    Also remember only 25% water changes once a week.

    Good luck with your fish.
