could i out a fancy goldfish in a tengallon tank?

Question

i have a filter?

Answer 1

Only for short periods of time, like less than 1 year if you don't want to stunt it.

Answer 2

Technically yes.

The problem then becomes that a single fancy goldfish would require a minimum of 12-15 gallons. Goldfish are social fish and should be kept if at all possible with 2 or more other goldfish for them to stay happy and healthy. Also, no other fish is really recommended with a fancy goldfish due to their high waste output, which creates large amounts of ammonia.

For a 10 Gallon tank, I'd recommend 3-5 Guppies (all male or all female, because they can reproduce over the weekend and you'll end up with hundreds in no time) or a single male beta.

Answer 3

yes you can but you will want to clean your tank at least once a week. i have two in a ten gallon tank they have been in this tank for a little over a year and are doing just fine. when you clean your tank only remove about half the water and if you have gravel in the bottom use a gravel cleaner to remove the built up waste.
I have found that you should not use a heater in the tank as goldfish are use to temperature fluctuation and keeping the water at a constant temp will cause them to get sick. Also check this site out to learn more.

Answer 4

no, even if you have a filter, the shear size of a goldfish will require at least 55 gallons with a powerful canister filter.

Answer 5

it depends on the size of the goldfish, i have 3 1 1/2 in (not including the tail) in a 10 gallon tank and it fits them verywell, when they get bigger ill put them in the pond in my back yard

Answer 6

Only if you fill it with fancy ketchup from Burger King
