It will continue to grow, contrary to popular belief, comets do NOT grow to the size of their tank, they continue to grow. Your comet will grow to be a max of 1 foot 2 inches long, you will need to give it at least 25 gallons to itself, it is inhumane to put a comet in that small of a tank and only give it 3.5 gallons to itself. They need at least 10 gallons when young and 25 full grown.

Comet goldfish are best suited to living with other goldfish of similar size and temperament.

How does a goldfish grow as a size of a foot when in seawater and still the same size when in a bowl?

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.


Can two comets live in a five gallon tank?

No. Goldfish cannot live in a five gallon tank at all, they are very messy and potentially large fish that require an absolute minimum of 20 gallons. For a 5 gallon coldwater tank, paradise fish or white cloud mountain minnows would be attractive choices. For a tropical tank there are a lot of small species suitable for a nano tank, and you could consider the ever-popular betta, or some tetras or dwarf rainbowfish.


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.


What are the recommended tank size requirements for keeping a goldfish in a 5-gallon tank?

A 5-gallon tank is not recommended for keeping a goldfish. Goldfish require a larger tank size to thrive, ideally 20 gallons or more for a single goldfish. A larger tank provides more space for the goldfish to swim and grow, as well as better water quality.


How many comet goldfish can you keep in a 120 liter tank?

Comet goldfish grow to be around a foot long. 120 liters is about 30 gallons so I say about 2. Get fancy goldfish because you could do even five in a tank that size because they don't get as big.
