General rule of thumb is 1 goldfish to 10 gallons of water. As usual, the more footage of the surface, the better. I've seen the majority of established places saying anywhere from 5 to 20 gallons. The real reason is the bioload the fish put on the tank.
I would say with a 50, you could even go as far as 6 or 7 of the fancies (definitely NOT comets or any other from the Group 1 line up) if you put in a really good filtration system. The more oxygen in the water and bad stuff out, the better.
For that reason, many people recommend getting about twice the filtration. The combo you have of ranchu and oranda will do great together.

There are many different ways to figure the correct size of tank for fish. The 1 pound of fish to 1 gallon of water is generally used for ponds or food fish. For goldfish raised in a tank I like to use 1 inch of goldfish to 2 gallons of water. This helps to make sure they have room to grow.
The thing to remember is that Goldfish can get very large. So you need to make sure you provide them with room to grow, a good diet, don't over feed and do your weekly maintains.
I think your 5 fancy goldfish will do just fine a 50 gallon tank.

The reason you're seeing different numbers has a lot to do with the size and type of goldfish. Commons, or single tailed varieties will get larger (up to 18") than many of the fancy (double-tailed) varieties (5" up depending on the variety). Obviously, an 18" fish will need more water than a 8" one.
Also the commons, normal-vision fancies, and vision-impaired fancies (telescopes, black moors, celestial eyes, and bubble eyes) should not be mixed due to their differences in swimming speed and ability to find food.
Orandas, ranchu, lionhead, ryukin and the like can all be kept together.
All goldfish are big eaters and produce a lot of wastes. That's why you'll always see larger tank sizes recommended for them. It's always better to go with a larger tank, not only to accommodate their eventual size, but the amount of waste they produce. Of course, your filtration system plays a role here as well. A good standard for fancies is 20 gallons for one fish, 10 for each additional fish. With smaller varieties, good filtration, and good tank maintenance (water changes, not overfeeding) you can probably put in a few more. So I'd say you could keep 5 in a 50 gallon, as long as you take care of the water quality.

First off it is not a inches to gallons it is pounds to gallons or sq surface water ft. per gallon. Honestly in a 50 gallon, you can keep 5 fancies & or lionheads etc fine. no matter what anyone says.
Thes fish are lethargic and do not require the amount of swim water comets or koi do. they are fine putsing around a tank.
I have raised every type and kind as well as koi for show and breeding. Some people tend to make more of it than it is. 50 gallons per fish is not needed even full size. the largest lion head still does not weigh more than 3 pounds or less which is more than 10 gallons can accomodate. It is more the type of tank you have. Shorter fatter tanks are the best. Tall thin tanks will not do. A goldfish for purposes of ponds and tanks do not count the tail as part of the fish. (the fin parts). 5 in a 55 is more than enough room even when they become full grown.
Need more info, feel free to email me.
Diet and water quality is what plays a major roll in your fish.

That would depend on the adult size, species of fish, and your filtration. The 25 fish would be a suitable stocking level for goldfish, but not for koi. For koi, you could have maybe have 2, and this would depend on the pond dimensions. If the fish are rosy red minnows, you could have even more. It can also make a difference if you plan on keeping them outdoors year-round what the depth of the pond is, and your winter temperatures. For goldfish, the pond should be at least 18 inches deep, for koi, 2-3 feet. If you pond is less, and you get freezing temperatures, you may need to make plans for a pond heater, or bring them inside over the winter. It's also not just the water volume, but the amount of surface area that determines your best stocking.

Ejaculation can be considered premature when it occurs 30 seconds to 4 minutes into sex, depending on different cultures, countries and experts. Behavioural techniques can help you delay orgasm. Learn here https://tr.im/W6Sbc
These include the start-and-stop method and the squeeze technique. A combination of these techniques along with sexual counselling and medication (either using an anaesthetic cream or an oral tablet) is recommended.

Skip waiting rooms. When you have an consultation, check in and then leave for a walk until the particular receptionist phones you.

When picking up your kids from school, get rid of the car and greet them having a hug instead of waiting inside car curbside.
