I am setting a new aquarium for gold fish. It's 200cm x 50cm x 50cm. The gold fish i am going to have are about 5-7 months old. I also will have an aerator and i'm planning to do partial water change weekly. How many of those fish can i put in there to the maximum?

If your measurements are correct you have a 132 us gallon tank on your hand, 500 litres
you could put up to 10 goldfish in there, but no more then that
Hope that helps
Good luck

If your measurements are correct that's a 7 ft long tank by 1.5 ft high and wide! You can comfortably house about 10 larger goldfish in there now but you will need a filter. Aeration isn't enough to keep a goldfish tank clean. Depending on what type of goldfish you get would make numbers different.
The long bodied comet types grow much larger at a faster rate than if you are planning to put in the fancy round bodied types such as orandas.

Thats nearly a 7 foot tank!
Must be about 130 litres?
An aerator is not good enough of its own ESPECIALLY for goldfish
Get them a really good filter. Interpet do great internal ones but you are probably look around £30 for one
Bottom line
No filter, no goldfish
Good filter - 5 small goldfish? They get really really big though so you could probably only keep the same ones for about a year, maybe a year and a half

10 but all of them may survive completely with others
