Although the goldfish are very small and it may be tempting to put many goldfish in a tank that large, you have to resist these urges if you want your fish to be happy and healthy. Keep in mind that goldfish grow very large: 6-8 inches for the fancies, 6-12 inches for the more common ones. The rule of thumb "one inch of fish per gallon" just does not work with goldfish. A more accurate measurement of goldfish per gallon would be " for each inch of goldfish allow 3-4 gallons of water". Hope this helps- and remember though the fish are small now, they will soon grow very large and beautiful.

How long can a goldfish live in a cup?
Sure. You can put a goldfish in anything that can hold liquid. But the best thing to do is to put it in a tank with a pump so it gets oxygen. I don't recommend leaving a goldfish in a cup for a long period of time.

Can black moor goldfish mate in 10 gallon tank?
A tiny little 10 gallon tank is no where near large enough to breed/spawn any kind of goldfish. It is not really large enough to house one goldfish properly.The base stocking rule in fish keeping is "1 inch of fish needs a MINIMUM of 1 gallon of water" Goldfish grow to at least 10 inches so the minimum size for one goldfish would be a (nominal) 13 gallon tank. (No one fills a tank to the brim) That would actually hold about 10 gallons.
Is 1.5 gallon tank too small for 2 goldfish?
No, but it also depends on the size of the goldfish. I would say to go pick out 2 goldfish, put them on hold and go back home and see if you think they will fit, if you are still not sure, try bringing the tank to the petstore and ask them what they think.
Is a 1 gallon tank good enough for 2 around 1 inch long baby comet goldfish?
Comet goldfish need at least 30 gallons each because of the type of fish they are (single tail), the fact that they can grow extremely long, and they produce a lot of waste.A fancy goldfish (fatter with more tails) need 20 gallons for just one fish, so either way, your 1 gallon tank cannot hold any goldfish at all.
One gallon fills about 231 in3. An aquarium has a height of 15 in. and base measurements 9 in. by 18 in. About how many gallons of water does the aquarium hold?
First, calculate the volume of the aquarium by multiplying the height by the base measurements: (15 , \text{in} \times 9 , \text{in} \times 18 , \text{in} = 2430 , \text{in}^3). To find the number of gallons, divide the volume in cubic inches by the number of cubic inches per gallon: (2430 , \text{in}^3 \div 231 , \text{in}^3/\text{gallon} \approx 10.53). Therefore, the aquarium holds approximately 10.5 gallons of water.

How many goldfish should you keep in one tank?
Well I don't really understand what your question is but i am guessing that you mean how WELL goldfish do in a 5 gallon tank. The answer is, pretty good if you don't get a full grown one. But be careful, some goldfish live longer than others. out of my 5 goldfish that I have had through my life, 1 has survived three days. One of the others survived about 3-4 months while two others lived for 6 months. my most recent fish just passed away at 3 years. He was my miracle fish. of course, the others were in a bowl and of course tanks are better for the circulation of water. GOOD LUCK :)
Why did you say a 72x24x24 aquarium is 250 gallons when it is 180 gallons Multiply dimensions and divide by 231?
