Just wondering, im getting a 29 gallons today and i'm putting my fancy goldfish in it. Can 2 goldfish live in a 29 gallons or is it too small for them?
ive heard that goldfish need 20 or 30 gallons for one alone and i currently have one living in a 10 gallon. I wanted to know if i should buy him a new friend
Two goldfish in a 29 gal is okay (not great, but okay). It can work if you are willing to do the maintenance. Just remember: minimum requirements means maximum care.
In a 10 gallon, no. You will need at least a 29 gallon to buy him a friend. And I still say something like a 40 gallon or 55 gallon is best as it would allow you to have 3+ goldfish. They are highly social and enjoy being in groups.
As for his breed, he looks like an oranda, one of the fancy breeds that tends to get pretty large.
Yep, you can pick up a friend for him.. I'd stick to a fantail, ryukin, lionhead, or ranchu. Other types aren't suitable for various reasons. Posted via Mobile Device
Glad to hear that you are getting a 29 gallon, too. Oranda will grow quite large. Ryukin or ranchu would be better suited to a 29 gallon as they stay relatively small for fancy goldfish.
This is the video I was looking for earlier. Two oranda in a 29 gal.
Okay yeah im getting one to house a betta in the 10 gallon instead! and i will check if they have these 2 types of fancy at my lps, if not, i might go with something i find pretty
Yes, I would avoid another oranda, the types listed will work better as they are smaller.
As these goldfish grow, in an unplanted 29, you are looking at 80-90% weekly changes, or two smaller twice weekly changes. Posted via Mobile Device
