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?

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.

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.
