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


A fancy golfish is any goldfish with a double tail like fantail, oranda, Ryukin, black moor, ranchu ect
If they are single tailed (common, comet, shubunkins ect) then they grow even larger and need twice as much space as a fancy goldfish

I have no idea why petstores claim those tanks can house goldfish, in a couple of months if taken care of properly one tiny petstore goldfish will have outgrown the space

If I had the room (and funds :p) for a larger tank, I'd get a good fish tank. I absolutely LOVE them. I remember when I was six and we had the most beautiful ryukin in a tiny bowl. I didn't know any better and my parents didn't either but that little fish lived 5 years! But as I have a caviary, pacman frog, 2 10 gallons, a 5 gallon, and two 2.5 gallons, I have no room :(

I'd like to have goldfish as well, but sadly I'm more fan of the single tailed ones and generally like to see goldfish(single or double tail) in much bigger tank than the commonly said 20 gal. So not going to get any until I get rich and have my own (huge) place. :lol:

I've actually been thinking, I'd need maybe 3 large tanks and maybe one medium to get all my dream set ups. ...No wait, one more large one, but shallow maybe, for corries only. :lol:

Oh one is a fantail... its the biggest one in the tank and alot fatter because it keeps snatching all the food.
Dad said he will move them to a bigger tank if they get much bigger. We have an old tank outside that used to have about 6 quite big gold fish. We had them fir years those ones! Most where just gold oned but we had one that was many black with alittle white and gold. He was really frendly and would always swum up to meat you when you went out to him.

I've had my angel fish and blue gourami for a long time, but the blue gourami has lost it's color a little (so he looks a little pale). I'm just wondering if it's because he's old? (:
