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.
a gallon is much too much, a standard fish can fill a regular and average glass bowl, a gallon! Totally enough, I tell ya, you, the questioner.
The recommended tank size for keeping a goldfish in a healthy environment is at least 20 gallons for the first fish and an additional 10 gallons for each additional fish. A 3-gallon tank is not suitable for a goldfish as it is too small to provide enough space and proper filtration for the fish to thrive.
Keeping a goldfish in a 2.5 gallon tank is not recommended as it is too small for their needs. Goldfish require a minimum of 20 gallons per fish to thrive, as they produce a lot of waste and need space to swim. In a smaller tank, water quality can quickly deteriorate, leading to health issues for the fish. It is important to provide a larger tank with proper filtration, regular water changes, and a balanced diet to ensure the well-being of your goldfish.
No, 5 gallons is way too small for a goldfish- they need at least 10 gallons each with the minimum tank size being 30 gallons. As for the crab- depending on the species he/she may be able to fit in a 5 gallon tank by him/herself comfortably, but this is usually not the case. Your best bet would be to go with a different type of fish such as a Betta fish- unlike goldfish, they can actually thrive in small tanks.
No, goldfish will not grow to the size of their tank. They will continue to grow and may become stunted or unhealthy if kept in a tank that is too small for their size.
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
It seems pretty small. You obviously care about your fish so get it a bigger tank anyway. Your fish is nearly half the size of your tank. Answer two- by Neofun Wow. I have three goldfish, not as big as yours, but perhaps the size of an average palm. They live in a twenty gallon tank with a filter, a air stone, and and three other fish. They have live plants, a snail to keep the algae under control, some plastic plants to hide in.
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
None. That's too small.
Absolutely, in fact I am sure you can fit a few more in there too.
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.
It is much too SMALL. 1 goldfish needs a minimum of 10 gallons of water. It must also have a permanently running 'cycled' filter and it must also have at least 50% of its water replaced every week. It is preferable to keep the goldfish in a larger tank so that two or more can be kept, as goldfish are social fish. A two gallon bowl would be suitable for a single male betta IF and ONLY IF a suitable small filter can be found that does not disturb the surface of the water too much, and a heater can be found that does not present an electrical hazard in such a small tank - 25 watts or less. If no heater is available, you could keep a single paradise fish provided the tank has a filter. I strongly recommend that you don't attempt to keep any fish in a tank smaller than 5 gallons, especially if you are a beginner, because it is so much more difficult to keep the water quality good in such a small volume of water.
