Does the amount of water in a tank depend on the size of the goldfish?

Goldfish grow to around 10 inches under normal circumstances Putting them in a container that is too small for them is not only cruel it is inhumane. Goldfish Bowls were used to contain Goldfish in the 1800s. One can excuse people for doing that in those days because they were ignorant and not well educated. Now there is no excuse for people using tiny containers to house fish. The basic rule for fishkeeping is :- "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water" That means that if you wish to have a goldfish it should be in a (nominal) 15 gallon tank.

∙ 14y agoyeah, based on the child and chocolate theory fish in tanks will eat and eat. the fish don't have the ability to puke or indeed the inclination. natures a tough teacher and can be so mean, the poor little fishes just eat an eat until they explode. (kinda)
