Can you keep 4 goldfish in 1 bowl?

No. Goldfish grow very large and are messy. Fancy goldfish need 20 gallons of water per fish plus 10 gallons for each additional fish (so 50 gallons at minimum for 4). Common and single tail goldfish need 30 gallons each plus 20 gallons for each additional fish


How do you breed goldfish in an unheated bowl?

Fancy goldfish need 10 gallons per fish while common and single tail goldfish need 20 gallons per fish. The fish need more space, and they need to be around 3 years old before they are old enough to breed. The fish will be around 4 to 5 inches long w/o tail when they are the right size to breed. A bowl is not the proper home for a goldfish they are too large and messy of fish to live in a bowl. Once they breed you will have around 100+ fry (baby goldfish) that will be 1,000+ gallons of water that will be needed to raise them.

What kind of water does the Goldfish have to have Salt Water or just Clean Water?

It just needs to be clean I don't know if a goldfish can even live in salt water. I always put the ones I've had in tap water that set out for a day or two I don't know wye it needed to sit out for a couple of days before putting the fish in it but that's how my mom always did it so I figured it was probably for a good reason. I actually had one goldfish that lived for like 4 or 5 years that's a long time for a goldfish. Goldfish need to be kept in fresh water, they are not made to live in salt water. preferably, keep them in spring or kangen water. By the way, you mom left the water out for a day or two to get it to be room temperature. Goldfish need to live in water the temperature of 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit.


Can 4 parrot fish live with 2 goldfish 2 kois and a sucker?

Absolutely not. Parrot fish are tropical fish and aggressive, kois belong in ponds and not tanks because they grow very large, goldfish need 15 gallons each (fancy) or 25 gallons each (single tail), and a 'sucker' is indeterminable as there are numerous types of 'sucker' fish

How do you keep goldfish healthy in a bowl?

Goldfish need more space than what people may believe; one goldfish needs a 20 gallon tank, and you need an additional 10 gallons per fish after (so 2 goldfish in 30 gallons)This is not just about their potential size (which is big), but the amount of waste they produce. The old adage of inches of fish per gallon is completely incorrect when it comes to goldfish due to being high waste producers.

A fancy goldfish needs 20 gallons on it's own, plus 10 gallons each per additional fish (2 goldfish for 30 gallons, 3 in 40 gallons etc).Fancy goldfish can grow quite large, and they are very high waste producers; anything less can shorten their lifespan and cause them harm from the toxins in the water.
