No, however, many do have the capability to become quite large if given proper care. Common goldfish, and those with the normal/natural body type become quite large, but need a large area of water to attain their full potential (a pond or very large aquarium). Fancy varieties such as the fantail, ryukin, moor and those with an egg shaped body tend to be smaller than their more natural counterparts, however their are exceptions to the rule such as "Bruce the oranda" a huge fancy type.

If you want large, happy, healthy goldfish, they do best in a large aquarium for the fancies and an outdoor pond for the hardier normals/comets. 75L(20G) of water is the minimum per adult goldfish. Given these circumstances, the fish will live many years and grow very large.

All Goldfish make great pets provided you give them good water and food. Remember the basic rule of '1 inch of fish needs 1 gallon of water' then remember that your goldfish will grow to at least 12 inches long given good conditions.


When Phillip has two turtles Kurt and Tiger. Kurt is 3 inches less than two-thirds the length of Tiger. If Tiger is 3 feet long how long is Kurt?

Tiger is 3 ft long → 2/3 Tiger's length is 2/3 × 3 ft = 2 ft 1 ft = 12 in Kurt is 3 inches less than this → Kurt is 2 ft - 3 in = 1 ft + 1 ft - 3 in = 1 ft + 12 in - 3 in = 1 ft + 9 in = 1 ft 9 in long


Is a 1 gallon tank good enough for 2 around 1 inch long baby comet goldfish?

Comet goldfish need at least 30 gallons each because of the type of fish they are (single tail), the fact that they can grow extremely long, and they produce a lot of waste.A fancy goldfish (fatter with more tails) need 20 gallons for just one fish, so either way, your 1 gallon tank cannot hold any goldfish at all.

Can you mix a female betta with 2 goldfish 1 is about 3 in long the other is about an inch long in a 14 gallon tank?

You cannot mix goldfish and bettas. Personalities aside, Goldfish are coldwater fish and Bettas are tropical. I have also heard that once the goldfish get bigger, which they will fast, they will eat the bettas David's answer:Yes, they be each other if you put the goldfish in first.(Note: The betta might nip the goldfish's fins)
