If they are fancy goldfish (the plump looking ones) then 6 or so would do well in an 80 gallon when fully grown if they are common goldfish, then 2 maybe 3 when full grown would be ok as they reach a whole foot long! This may seem like its not many fish for a large tank however goldfish are real poo machines and good filtration is a must.

Can you breed goldfish in a one gallon tank?

No. A one gallon tank is not appropriate for a singular goldfish much less multiple. A ten gallon tank is the bare minimum for a singular goldfish and breeding would require a tank of twenty gallons or more. A one gallon tank cannot handle the chasing that proceeds goldfish mating nor maintain a water quality that is suitable for raising goldfish fry.

Have Five gallon tank with two molly fish can you put a goldfish in there?

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


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.


What kinda fish would go well in a 10 gallon fresh water aquarium and would any of these fit together Calico Ryukin Goldfish guppy betta Shubunkin Goldfish neons and what others would fit with an?

Neon tetras, guppies, and bettas are warm water fish(they need a heater) and calico ryukins and shubunkins are cold water(don't need a heater) so none would really fit together except the warm waters. I have a shubunkin goldfish, common goldfish, and 2 dojo/weather loaches in a 29gal, but they used to be in a 10gal. I recommend another double tailed goldfish if you have the ryukin(single tailed will be faster and nip at the others fins and eat all of the food).

Goldfish will do fine in a fountain, as long as they are fed, and that the area is big enough to swim around and not all fountain! As long as the fountain isn't too powerful the fish will do fine.

It depends how big your bowl is if it is below 5 gallons then you should put one. But if it is 1 or 2 gallons then you will have to move it into a 5 gallon tank or bowl at the least.
