If your goldfish is about 2 and a half inches long how big does its tank need to be?

Regardless of the type or size of goldfish the minimum acceptable size of an aquarium for a goldfish is 30 gallons. Buy a tank that is at least 30 gallons if you plan to have goldfish. You can comfortably fit 3 goldfish in a tank this size but no goldfish in a tank any smaller. Goldfish are essentially pond fish and need lots of space to swim; they will not thrive in a small aquarium.

What are the symptoms of a pregnant goldfish?

Fish don't get pregnant. When a male and female goldfish mate, they will swim close together and then the female will release eggs which the male will then cover in a liquid from his own body. This means that the eggs are fertilized and then they will then sink to the bottom of the tank. I suggest putting some CLEAN marbles on the bottom of the tank with the eggs because this will stop the fish trying to eat their own eggs. This works.
