day-break Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Does anyone have any goldfish they no longer have the time for to give to me for my grandchildren please? I thought that i would ask here first. We have one already in a fair sized tank but hes all alone with his bridge, shipwreck and seahorse ornaments poor thing.

angel22 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 What do you consider a fair size tank? A tank containing two goldfish should be a minimum of 140 litres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
day-break Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 So does anyone have 1 or 2 fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel22 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Maybe if you answered my question people would be more willing to consider giving you some fish. If I was giving any of mine away, I'd want to make sure they were going to be living in a suitable tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffandy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 What do you consider a fair size tank? A tank containing two goldfish should be a minimum of 140 litres. I have 2 tiny inch long coldwater fish in a tank, surely they don't need 140 litres of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notreve Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Angel is right about the tank size. I'm not sure what your other fish are but goldfish and Koi are essentially pond fish and need lots of water and care. Here is a website dedicated to goldfish care, it explains on there that common goldfish need approximately 120+ litres to start and an extra 30/40 for each additional fish - http://thegoldfishtank.com/do-goldfish-need-a-big-tank/ When it comes to animals, everyone is just wanting the best for the animals welfare and no one is out to attack anyone. Please just accept this as advice, not an attack or anything of that nature, and take some time to learn about proper goldfish care. In the right conditions and with proper care, they can grow to be beautiful and majestic fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have goldfish then yes, when they're bigger they will need around 140 litres as a minimum. Thanks Notreve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
