Can fantail goldfish live without a filter?

Answer 1

All fish need a filter. A Bowl is not suitable to keep any kind of fish in. The basic rules for keeping any kind of fish successfully are . :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter.(This converts the Ammonia that is created by all fish into Nitrate):- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week.(This stops the build up of excess Nitrate) A heater/thermostat is also needed for guppies because they are tropical in their requirements and need to be kept at around 75F. If you stick to the above rules a fish will stand a chance of survival. If you miss out on any of the above I can guarantee that your fish will have health problems constantly and will die before it should.

Answer 2

No.

The only way the Angel will survive with no filter is daily part water changes (25%)

Filters harbour millions of good bacteria that remove the waste and toxins in the water (ammonia and nitrites) - it turns these into nitrate which is not AS harmful to the fish. But High levels of nitrates can be harmful to fish - you remove nitrates by water changes.

If you have no filter, you have to constantly change the water to ensure the toxins are at a safe level. Keep in mind water changes above 50% can be harful to the fish.
