Thank you for all the kind offers! The matter has been resolved.
(Long story short:
A friend's company used a bunch of fish in an advertisement and now the poor things are lying around in bags of water at the office. The company will not pay more than 50 000Won for a tank, so if you have one you're wanting to offload PLEASE help them (the fish, I mean).
Alternatively, if you have a home for them, please PM or leave me a message and I will give you a contact number. (I don't know anything about the fish except that they went through a rough time during the shooting of the ad.)
Thank you and I hope someone can help.  )
(Location: Seoul)

If they were used in an ad, I'd guess that they're saltwater fish (as they're more flashy than freshwater fish). It's a bit more tricky setting up a saltwater tank so I'd recommend you give them to someone who already has a setup or an aquarium/fish store.
Your best option would be to give them up to someone else who knows how to deal with them. Even if you're well informed and have all of the equipment, you're supposed to cycle your aquarium before adding fish (and add them gradually). Fish are easily stressed and their chances of survival are significanly less if they stay with you 
As a last resort, a large tupperware bin would work. Read up about the type of fish you're dealing with and pretreat the water accordingly. Tropical fish would need a heater. I'd recommend you dump all of the water in the bag and transfer only the fish so toxins and potential disease don't move into the new setup.
Good luck! |

Hey!
We're about to move and were looking for a new home for our 10g aquarium, it has a few fish in it already (2 small sharks) that would have to go with. It has a filter/heater/bubbler/light/rocks/etc. Its all set up for tropical fresh water and free for the taking if you would want to pick it up. I'm at Ttukseom Resort. Let me know if this would help at all. |

Thank you. Sound advice about giving them to someone who knows about fish. |

Perhaps the guys at the office may just do that, which is why we are trying to get them out of there asap.  |

| Update: My friend says they are Yellow Comet Goldfish and about 15cm long. (I know nothing about fish so I don't know how accurate this info is.) |
