Would this be a good tank for one goldfish ;-)

I would not put a goldfish in it. Goldfish are messy eaters and the filter is really wussy. To give you an idea of how weak the filter is, most 10 gallon tanks have filters that filter between 150 - 250 gallons of water per minute. This tank is a 4 gallon and has a filter that only filters 36 gallons of water per minute. Also a goldfish will outgrow this tank really quickly. The minimum tank size for a fantail goldfish is listed as a 30 gallon tank and they also need excellent filtration because they eat a lot and poop a lot. You could put a baby in a 4 gallon tank, but you would need a new tank really fast, and this tank would get polluted because of the inadequate filter and your fish would get sick.

A goldfish would quickly outgrow it. Goldfish are also heavy waste producers and would overwhelm this system. Goldfish are also social and shouldn't be alone. If you are limited in space and finances, get 2 small goldfish, a 10 gallon, and a filter for at least a 30 gallon tank, and change 30-50 percent of the water weekly. Your goldfish would need to be upgraded to at least a 30 gallon tank by the time they're a year old. I absolutely LOVE the fluval view. But it's meant for a betta or a school of 5 or 6 small fish like neon tetras, threadfin rainbows or white cloud mountain minnows. I hope this helps! A goldfish would quickly outgrow it.

Probably just one. Not b/c of size, but b/c of waste....they put out a good bit. :)

It is good for up to 3, any more the filters become ineffective and water gets dirty quick.

no this is suitable for fish that do not require large space to stretch. In my one I keep neon tetras as they won't grow big. Goldfish will grow fast when fed right. I also have one betta with the neon tetras and he likes it.

Yes...These critters are really cute, my daughter has bonded with them. Believe it or not, they have personality and are a lot of fun to watch!!Initially, they were petrified in their new home, but are very comfortable now. They can sometimes be aggressive with any bottom/slow moving dwellers. One of mine is much calmer than the other, so again, it's a chance you're taking. If you decide to put them in the same tank, be sure that it's very heavily planted so that both have plenty of places to hide. Good luck and happy holidays!

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

It's best to figure on one fish per gallon. More can survive but keeping the tank clean is more work.

Casey is correct....this is way to small. It will be okay temporarily, but you will have to get a bigger tank and a better filtration system. It's cheaper/better to just start out with a bigger tank. Even the 15g-20g suggestion will be too small at some point. Here's a link to a really good care sheet: http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/housing.htmAt one point I had 7 turtles and they are great animals, but they do require a lot of work that pet stores don't tell you.

Well, if you want a LOT of bubbles it will be perfect.. It has four outlets so you could easily have four aquariums going. I have a 60-gal tank and it is more than enough.. And super quiet.. I would suggest getting it.. You can upgrade your tanks and never need additional equipment.

sure. It would be better than just a goldfish bowl because of the filtration system. Goldfish are a bit dirtier than bettas or other fish. wouldn't have to clean the tank so often.

I keep an African Dwarf Frog with my Betta. I really enjoy him. you could keep one or two small fish like terra. I would not personally put a goldfish in there. goldfish are very messy Fish and Aquarium even though it has a filter really isn't sufficient for that unless you want to do water changes a lot

YES! Do NOT put two Bettas in this tank! Not only can they see each other, the middle divider doesn't fit properly making it dangerous for both fish. I left for a few days and came back to both fish barly alive on the same side of the tank.

It depends on what fish you have it requires two filters but one is made for goldfish and the other is for fish like tetras, etc. If you tank smells you might want to change half the water and put in clean filters.

I think you could, but goldfish produce a lot of wastes so just only for small ones (maybe 2-3 of them are Max) work I believe .

I have a 100 gallon stock tank full of 3in+ goldfish. This is their primary diet.

I have an African Dwarf Frog and 5 neon Danio's in my tank and my frog is healthy and happy. However, if your thinking of placing multiple frogs in the tank you may want something with a wider bottom since this tank is very narrow and limited on room in width.

This tank is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater as far as I know. I got mine from a friend and he had a small nano reef in it for over 3 years without any problems. I have a freshwater aquascape and a Betta male in it and it's fine as well.

No, it'd be fine. A 55 for a single Oscar is a good tank. He'll get to be 10" if you feed goldfish. These "blowers" I call them move a lot if water because they suck from the sides and blow outlet the front. Put one in the lower rear corner opposite your filter intake, blowing back across the front of the tank. It'll help keep the crap ( and Oscars crap like small dogs) from acumulating. Good luck. You won't be disappointed with these things. I have two in my 110 tall tank.

Filter is so good, I wouldn't worry. Maybe 100 for future change to larger tank. Gold fish don't have stomachs, I've been told, so I have lots of nye grass and othet consumable plants. Thus I feed my gold fish about once a week. Huge, 30 gal tank, cheep filter , but secrete is lots of plants.
