For a very short time if they are young fish, as in fry. Koi can grow to be very large fish in short while you might have a pair of 12 inch fish on your hands. Koi should get 12" within a year, they are really strictly pond fish (and a pond of over 1,000 gallons). On average Koi get around 24" long, but some varieties can get up to 4ft!

Regular Goldfish are also fast growing and should get at least 4"-6" in a year, and should be full grown at 2 years (full grown being 10"-12" excluding tail). For 3 regular Goldfish you need a tank of at least 75 gallons or a pond over 600 gallons.

The general rule for koi is an for every inch your fish is long (excluding the tail) you should have 10 gallons of water.

These fish aren't suitable for a tiny 10 gallon!

Size of tank for two goldfish?

between 5-10 gallons per inch of fish. A single adult goldfish needs 20 gallons and another 10 gallons per addional goldfish (so two goldfish need about 30 gallons but something between 25-35 gals would be good). As babies they one can survive in a 10 or 15 gal but the tank should be upgraded as soon as possible.

Can goldfish live in fishbowl?

No, a fish bowl is just too small for a fish that has the potential to grow over 12 inches in length. A goldfish needs an aquarium of at least 30 gallons (with proper filtration and aeration) to thrive.Only a betta can live in a fish bowl. Goldfish generally don't get as big as "they" say but they do get large. A single goldfish needs 15-20 gallons with an another 10 gallons per additional goldfish. I keep 3 fancy goldfish (about 7" long each) in a 50 gal with a rubberlip pleco (4"), 9 ghost shrimp (about an inch each) , a mystery snail (about 2" long), and 5 ottos (2" each). So the bigger the tank, the better =DYes, but without a filter and bubbler it makes it very hard on the fish. Could result in shorter life span.I got a goldfish from a carnival 5 years ago and she's still alive.


How many goldfish can i put in a 96 liter tank?

A goldfish can grow to 12 inches or so. Using the basic rules of fishkeeping which are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs a minimum of 50% of its water replaced every week. It is obvious that a 10 gal tank is not large enough for even one fully grown goldfish. You could put a few small ones in the tank but keep an eye on their sizes and do not go over the 1 inch per gallon rule, otherwise you will have constant sickness/health problems with the fish caused by overstocking.Actually it depends on how big they are if you have a baby goldfish, then you could put around five, but would need to buy a bigger tank later on. ( if they dont die ) If you have fully grown goldfish, then maybe around 2-3. Usually the tank size doesnt harm them. What happenes is that if the tank is too small, then they wont grow and they will probably die. And if one becomes pregnant, then they will have no room to lay the eggs or they wont have enough room to swim while being chases by other goldfish. Hope this helps!
