I have a 10gallon with a common and a shubunkin goldfish. They are both around 2.5 inches. I am soon upgrading to a 30 gallon so there will be enough room when they get bigger.

For instance, say a goldfish is in a tank, it will not grow as big as the tank; however it will grow big enough to be able to swim in their environment. The fish will not overgrow the tank.
