Best Answer

Everything from 1 gallon, which are pretty much useless except for one goldfish to 100+ gallons. Standard sizes sold commonly are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 29, 50, 55, 100 gal and even larger to the 200 gallon variety. Larger than that are usually custom made to order and can be purchased by contacting your local pet shop and giving them the specifics of what you want.

The variety of sizes also extends to a variety of shapes. Improved: anything below 8 gallons is generally useless for any fish. Especially goldfish who need tanks or ponds 55 gallons or larger when full grown. The smallest tank should be about 8 gallons and should house no more than 3 inches of fish. The one inch per gallon rule goes by volume of fish, not total lenght. For example: if you have a goldfish 5 inches long, 1 inch wide, and 2 inches tall its 5x1x3=15 gallons. I would add about 20% to that size just to make sure. But you also have to consider factors such as the size the fish will be when full grown and how tolerant the fish is to overcrowding in a tank.
