Yes indeed you should do a water change right away after a fish dies. Chances are that your deceased goldfish died from a water infection. Just to be safe change a 25-50 water change. Make sure to suck all the fish waste with a siphon because that can lead to high ammonia since goldfish poo so much. Sorry for you're lost

no, you do not need to change the water. When you do change it though, make sure you put in stress coat or a water conditioner
