Is this tank large enough for 2 very small feeder Goldfish? I have 1 in a 3.5 gallon right now &amp; he needs a friend. I change 2/3 of water 2x wk now.

Yes, the rule of thumb with fish is 1" ( as an adult) per gallon. They need to have room to grow or they will be stunted and not be as healthy. I always google how big a certain kind of fish would grow into then decide if it will be good. If you haven't gotten this yet you may want to reconsider. It goes through 2 different kinds disposable filter every week to two weeks costing about $8 each time combined unless you buy in bulk, but that still gets pricey as well.

i got him in a six gallon, pillar style tank. its deep, and i have logs laying horizontally and vertically for him to walk and down the tank. it also provides hiding places for him.if you have it, i would say get a 10 gallon tank. i had the 6 gallon as a spare and empty tank. that's why i made it his home. he seems to be happy, but bigger is always better!

No you can't place a gold fish in this tank. It's only meant for Betta fish.

I wouldn't put any fish in that aquarium. If it's way too small for a Betta fish, it would certainly be too small for a goldfish. As well, goldfish produce a lot of waste so the aquarium would quickly become polluted since the supposedly self-cleaning function is, at best, a blatant lie.As I have indicated previously, unless you enjoy torturing poor, defenseless fish, do NOT purchase this aquarium.

you can set this to feed up to 4 time a day, and how much you feed them each time has multiple positions. I have a 20 gallon tank with 12 fish. i feed them 3 times a day and have it on the middle setting for quantity. It lasts at around 2 weeks. make sure you break the fish flakes up when you load the feeder, or they will jam up. also make sure you raise the feeder high enough away from the water line so the door that flips open doesnt touch the water or it will also jam up from wet food. its a great feeder!

This is not a solution to your problem. Goldfish average approximately 10" in length when grown (not including their tail). In just 3 month, it should be around 3" long (again, not including the tail). As much as you care for your goldfish, you are, unfortunately, subjecting it to a cruel life and eventual death. A 3 gallon tank is a death chamber for a goldfish. Goldfish need to be in a very large tank or an outdoor pond.

NO! It is a great tank, but it is very small. It is good for 1 to 3 small fish. I have 1 beta in mine. I also have a turtle. He is currently in a 29 gallon tank which is really too small for him. Turtles need space.

You can actually place this filter completely under water. Without knowing what type of tank (bowl vs. rectangle) I would suggest putting this almost on the bottom of your tank and direct the flow somewhat against the glass to cause a current. If placed correctly the waste should make its way toward the filter.If none of that answered your question, I apologize, I have not kept goldfish since I was in elementary school.

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.

I have this in 110 gallons and it is way overkill, mine has goldfish and they are supermessy as well, still keeps it fresh and clear!

Mine works great in my 5 gallon goldfish tank. I'd only hesitate using it for bettas because sometimes water currents can damage their delicate fins.

Yes. This looks nice but, it doesn't clean like it's supposed to. You'll have to empty it often to keep a goldfish healthy.

In my opinion, it would be a little snug but could work for 1 Betta or 2 guppies. Both would be a little too snug and Betta do best with other fish if the are in large understocked tanks. Small overstocked tanks are more likely to trigger aggression issues

Hi,I am not quite sure. You might want to ask your local fish store, they might be able to tell you live and compare the size with their tanks. Sorry I couldn't be more help, I would hate to have you purchase the wrong size. If I can help any further, please don't hesitate to contact me.Regards, PeeWee!

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.

All depends on what you are using it for. Like Dham, I also use it for one large and dirty red eared slider and it works great . Right now he is in a 40 gallon tank w/ 30 gallons of water, I plan to move him to a 75 gallon tank with 50 gallons of water... it should still work well... but that's for a red eared slider ... just one. I'd run a 2nd one if I add another turtle. Depends on your use -- turtles are the messiest.

A goldfish should be fine, as long as it's not a real big goldfish....it's a really nice little tank.
