Yea I had thought the tank would be too small for neons but the lady in the shop said that the 9L was more than enough for a betta! She said that it was fin? And yea I did know I needed both a filter and heater. The thing with living in a bus is we have to take most the water out to move, vibrating ever trip and not always being on power.

Her gold fish are like 4 cm long and in 9-10L of water with a filter. I don't know what kind other than one is a is a fantail.

A vast majority of pet store employees don't know what they're talking about and just want to make money. Whatever the pet store tells you, always confirm with other sources.
Those goldfish are going to need a much larger tank, as Lonin said.

9 litres is kinda the bare minimum for a betta. Certainly not more than enough. Bettas are able to survive in small amounts of water but it doesn't mean they're happy or totally healthy in them. A lot of pet shop employees only know what the company tells them, and pet shops exist primarily to make money rather than for the welfare of the animals they sell. If someone wants to sell you something it's generally worth getting a second opinion or doing your own research c:

We don't know how the travelling would bother the fish but if you don't have reliable power it might not be the best idea to get any right now. A few hours now and then would be ok but if your filter is off for a while then the bacteria will start to die and your cycle will crash. The changes in temperature from the heater not working might stress the fish out too, especially given how warm bettas like to be.
The whole situation really doesn't sound ideal for fish unfortunately :c

I'll pass on the info about the gold fish. I had thought it was fine, they looked happy and where eating well. But of corse I am nrw to fish so thanks for the info

( I could maybe take a photo of the tank if you want ti see.)

Yea I had thought she might be having me on but she said that she kept them her self and hers where happy... but hay thats why I am here! I want to cheek with soneobe who DOSE know what there talking about. I would hate to get the fish and find what I was doing was bad for them.

Thanks for all the help, sadly it looks like I can't get any just yet

Here's my goldfish tank
It's 3 foot long and a little over 150L


I'm upgrading to a 4 foot tank (284L) just so I can get a 3rd goldfish

9-10L is much too small, they will either die fast from ammonia poisoning or get stunted and die a slow painful death because their insides continue growing while their outsides stay the same size

I told dad and he said
"yea I know, the lady said to have only 2 but I really wanted the third, we can move one out to the out side tank later if we have to"

Hey everyone!
For Christmas my parents got me a 55 gallon tank! I was going to be buying one next week, as soon as my aunt's check for me came. I moved my 2 inch fan tail goldfish, Molly, into it! Do you guys think I have enough room to get her a friend? If, not, that's fine! I was then able to move my baby Chiclid into the 35 gallon Molly was in, and my two female guppy sisters, Maggie and Beth, into Omari's 10 gallon holding tank! They all look so happy right now! I also bought a new 10 gallon for two of my bettas, Joker and Annabelle! After that, I will only have to get one more 10 gallon next time we go to the store for my last two bettas!
Also, my betta who had swim bladder is completely healed! Everyone said he would never get better, he has had this all his life, but he's fine. I am a spiritual healer so I have been helping him every day for the past few weeks.
Does anybody know a good way to get pond snails out of a tank? My mom decided it would be fun when I was away to get me some and put them in two of my tanks and I can't get rid of them now.

Updates:
My 75's algae is no longer suspended, but now plastered all over the glass. I can never win.
Frasier is doing well and is no longer stressed!
I have successfully switched my Bettas from pellets to freeze-dried blood worms.

Honestly 10L isn't suitable for anything other then a betta
Minimum for one fancygold fish is 75L and 38L for each additional

its nothing fancy, just a small normal gold fish from the pet store. the tank says that its fine for two of them... but anyway there not mine so not very much point telling me since dad already made up his mind
