To prevent your goldfish from growing too large for its tank, make sure to provide a spacious tank with at least 20 gallons of water per goldfish. Avoid overfeeding them and maintain good water quality through regular water changes and proper filtration. Additionally, monitor their growth and consider upgrading to a larger tank if needed.
When a fish grows as large as its environment it is an example of a limiting factor to the fishes growth. That is why a goldfish will grow larger with a larger tank.
Yes, you can put 2 goldfish together in the same tank as long as the tank is large enough to accommodate both fish and there is enough space for them to swim comfortably. It is important to monitor their behavior and ensure they are compatible to prevent any aggression or stress.
To prevent your goldfish from making bubbles at the top of the tank, ensure proper water quality by regularly cleaning the tank and maintaining appropriate water parameters. Additionally, provide adequate aeration and surface agitation to prevent bubbles from forming.

Yes they will, to prevent this you could buy a fish tank cage.
If the goldfish is a fancy variety, it can live alone in a 20 gallon tank. Goldfish do not belong in tanks any smaller than this as they grow very large
about 10 gal per fish
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.
Goldfish need to mature before they can lay eggs and they can get pretty large (6" or more). By the time they are large enough, they have outgrown a fish bowl. So technically, the answer is no. You will need large goldfish in a large tank before you can breed them.
No, Goldfish belong with goldfish with a few exceptions such as weather (dojo) loaches, apple or mystery snails, or bristlenose plecos; but only if you have a large enough tank.
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
10+ years but they will need a very large tank.
