Goldfish typically stop growing when they reach around 4 to 6 inches in length, which is usually within the first year of their life.
Yes, goldfish typically stop growing once they reach their full adult size, which is usually around 6 to 8 inches in length.
Goldfish do not stop growing and will continue to grow throughout their lives. Their growth is influenced by factors such as diet, tank size, and water quality.
I am not aware of goldfish stopping growing at any specific age. They can get very large (over 24 inches) in the twenty or so years I have known them to live.
Hair and nails are the two things on a human that never stop growing, although they do eventually reach a point where they stop growing longer.
Wouldn't recommend putting a goldfish in a 5 gallon tank-regardless of what type or size of goldfish. This is because the goldfish would be stunted causing it to have an untimely death. The condition in which a goldfish is "stunted" is where the fish adjusts to its tiny environment so much as to stop growing. The fish will stop growing on the outside but will continue to grow on the inside. Goldfish are naturally messy and create a LOT of waste. This factor would cause the tanks water to be poluted which inturn could kill not only the goldfish but possible your mollies too :(. Two mollies is enough for a five gallon tank. If you truly want to get a goldfish you will have to house the goldfish in a 10-20 gallon tank with very good filtration
If the goldfish eggs appear "fuzzy" then they are growing fungus.
No, goldfish do not keep growing throughout their lives. They typically reach their full size within the first few years of their life.
Lizards typically stop growing when they reach adulthood, which is usually around 1-2 years old, depending on the species.
When the water gets colder the goldfish's metabolism will slow down and won't allow the fish to ingest food properly- so there would be no point in feeding them.
As of June 2014 there is not a listed location that sells the growing gel balls for goldfish. Some local aquarium stores may carry them.
Goldfish naturally are foragers and will eat both what they are provided and what they can locate in their environment, like algae or growing plants.
Goldfish are not aggressive fish. They most definitely do not kill people.
