between 5-10 gallons per inch of fish.
A single adult goldfish needs 20 gallons and another 10 gallons per addional goldfish (so two goldfish need about 30 gallons but something between 25-35 gals would be good). As babies they one can survive in a 10 or 15 gal but the tank should be upgraded as soon as possible.

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.
