Depends on how many goldfish you have. You don't want to over crowd ur tank or fish bowl. And make sure you put somethin that makes bubbles in the tank so that there will be plenty of oxygen in the tank

I own 4 goldfish: one small, one medium-sized, one big, and one extremely large. Someone who worked at a local Petsmart store said that you only need 1 gallon per every inch of a goldfish. (goldfish tend to be extremely dirty) However, we didn't listen to the person. We bought 4 fish, and a 2.5 gallon tank with a filter. They're fine. Try to get a tank 2 gallons for 2-3 fish, and if you get more, get a 3 gallon fish tank or up.

∙ 14y agoThere is a basic rule for keeping any kind of fish and that is The minimum water requirement for 1 inch (2.5cm) of fish (body length) is 1 gallon (4.25ltrs) of water. It is also best to know how large the species of fish will grow. In the case of Comet Goldfish they can grow to over 12 inches so allowances for growth should be taken into consideration.

Will goldfish kill a beta?
No, a goldfish will not kill a betta but they should NOTbe housed together. First of all, bettas are tropical fish, meaning they need temperatures of 75-85 F while goldfish are cold water fish and need much lower temperatures. Also, bettas are usually quite aggressive and territorial so I would not risk housing him with a goldfish.

It depends on the fish. If its a tropical fish that is accustomed to salt water, you need salt water and you need to keep the water at a warmer than norm temperature. If its just a regular goldfish, freshwater at room temp should do just fine.
