It depends on how many goldfish and their size. Just call or stop into a pet shop within your area, and they will be able to advise you appropriately.
Answer; generally as a rule you should allow 1 gallon per inch of fish The above answers are okay, however I have found that goldfish tend to thrive when they are given at least a 20 gallon aquarium to live in and an additional 10 gallons for each additional fish.

∙ 15y agoWhatever you get, don't get the small goldfish bowls, they are torture to the fish. On average, they live only a year or two in a bowl, but can live 20-40yrs in a large tank. Its good that you have 3, because goldfish are social creature. Try a 50cm x 50cm tank (20 in x 20in) or larger Whatever you get, don't get the small goldfish bowls, they are torture to the fish.

∙ 13y agoGoldfish get very big and are very messy. For 8 juveniles you might be able to get away with a very heavily over filtered 30 gallon, but as they each got larger (and they should grow pretty quick) they'll quite quickly need much larger housing.
The general rule is 20 US gallons each for a Fancy Goldfish, 55 US gallons each for Commons/Comets (which are essentially pond fish).
Don't underestimate these very big and very messy fish!

Can you convert your fresh water fish tank into tropical without killing the fish?
You can definitely do that, but you haven't made it clear that you have cold water in the tank before. If you can keep the water temperature at 72 F, then you can keep both cold water fishes like gold fishes and non-aggressive community tropical fishes like gouramis, platys, mollies, algae eaters etc with gold fish.

The plural of fish is fish. An example sentence is below for both singular and plural use. Singular: "Mark has a fish tank with one fish." Plural: "Susan's fish tank has three fish."
