Goldfish have the potential to grow very large if given the necessary amount of space from the very beginning. This means that if you put one goldfish in the recommended 20 gallons on it's own, it could potentially grow quite large.

Yes, the bigger tank the better. They actually HATE goldfish bowls. (they're not nearly big enough). Goldfish usually need a 20 to 30 gallon tank
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
Yes, the bigger the tank, the bigger they will grow. Yes. The more resources given to the goldfish * more oxygenated water, * aquarium plants, * room to swim, * cleaner environments, the larger the fish will grow
That's only part true Yeah, but if the bowls really small, they'll be really ill and have a bad life, and will probably die before they actually GET to grow >_< If the tanks bigger, they'll live longer, and obviously, get to grow because they'll be living longer
The bigger the tank you provide, the bigger and healthier your goldfish will be.
Goldfish growth is influenced by their environment, but they don’t strictly grow to fit their tank. Their size depends on genetics, water quality, diet, and space. In small, cramped tanks with poor conditions, growth can be stunted, leading to health issues. In a larger, well-maintained habitat, goldfish can grow much bigger, often reaching 6-12 inches or more, especially in ponds where they thrive. visit our website: www. saiishaclinic .com/contactus/
Goldfish release growth-inhibiting hormones into the water they live in: the more goldfish in a smaller space, the less likely they are to grow. For instance, if I have a common goldfish in a 5 gallon tank, it will grow to about the same size if I had 6 of the same fish in a 30 gallon tank. But leave that fish alone in a 30 gallon tank, and it will grow larger. This is why pond goldfish grow bigger. But goldfish won't grow at all in seawater; they aren't saltwater fish.
the girl is bigger
It ranges. They generally grow their whole life. The oldest goldfish lived to be 49 and I believe it was about 3 feet....The house hold goldfish lives between 10-20 (20 means you did great!) years and get about a foot long. They seem small as babies but rapidly grow and need large tanks. Small tanks and bowls stunt their growth and causes many problems besides how big they get. So to answer your question, they get big.
No I'm afraid not. As goldfish grow bigger they eat whatever fits in their mouths. But the only species that mixes with goldfish is the weather loach.
