How many 1.5 inch goldfish can a fiftyfive gallon aquarium hold?

Although the goldfish are very small and it may be tempting to put many goldfish in a tank that large, you have to resist these urges if you want your fish to be happy and healthy. Keep in mind that goldfish grow very large: 6-8 inches for the fancies, 6-12 inches for the more common ones. The rule of thumb "one inch of fish per gallon" just does not work with goldfish. A more accurate measurement of goldfish per gallon would be " for each inch of goldfish allow 3-4 gallons of water". Hope this helps- and remember though the fish are small now, they will soon grow very large and beautiful.

∙ 14y agowell, one should be in 20 gal tank, and add 10gal for each other goldfish you put in so
20gal = 1 goldfish
30gal = 2 goldfish
40gal = 3 goldfish
50gal = 4 goldfish i would just suggest putting 4, as they will all be happy and will not contaminate the water much faster.

How long can a goldfish live in a cup?
Sure. You can put a goldfish in anything that can hold liquid. But the best thing to do is to put it in a tank with a pump so it gets oxygen. I don't recommend leaving a goldfish in a cup for a long period of time.

Can black moor goldfish mate in 10 gallon tank?
A tiny little 10 gallon tank is no where near large enough to breed/spawn any kind of goldfish. It is not really large enough to house one goldfish properly.The base stocking rule in fish keeping is "1 inch of fish needs a MINIMUM of 1 gallon of water" Goldfish grow to at least 10 inches so the minimum size for one goldfish would be a (nominal) 13 gallon tank. (No one fills a tank to the brim) That would actually hold about 10 gallons.
Is 1.5 gallon tank too small for 2 goldfish?
No, but it also depends on the size of the goldfish. I would say to go pick out 2 goldfish, put them on hold and go back home and see if you think they will fit, if you are still not sure, try bringing the tank to the petstore and ask them what they think.
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.
