Tanks that are reffered to as "breeder tanks" work very nice as a goldfish aquarium. They are quite wide and noticeably shorter than the average tank which is more of a rectangle and doesn't permit as much gas exchange. An aquarium that is wider has a larger surface area thus allowing more gas exchange resulting in higher dissolved oxygen levels.

What should you do if your goldfish is pregnant and you have a small tank?
Goldfish are not livebearers so they are never truly pregnant. If you think your goldfish is pregnant than she is just getting ready to spawn by becoming full of eggs. Unless there is a male goldfish present the eggs will be unfertilized and will not hatch into baby goldfish fry. Your female goldfish will soon lay her eggs, and if no further action is taken, she will then eat them. As for the small tank, I would really recommend moving her into a bigger one.

What are the recommended tank size requirements for keeping a goldfish in a 5-gallon tank?
A 5-gallon tank is not recommended for keeping a goldfish. Goldfish require a larger tank size to thrive, ideally 20 gallons or more for a single goldfish. A larger tank provides more space for the goldfish to swim and grow, as well as better water quality.
