How many goldfish do you have right now? I can't suggest a tank size until we know that first.:)

[AMETHYST212]

i am so sorry. they are 2 gold fish not even hitting an inch yet. one is a calico ryuk and the other is a gold oranda.

I'm in Canada and have no extra tanks in any case, but I know they sell pretty cheap 10gal at Walmart, if there's one near by you. Also, you can probably fix the other aquarium with some aquarium silicon, just follow the instructions carefully. If you add water before it's cured, then that water will be toxic to fish.

Best of luck!

Goldfish get pretty big but you have the fancy varieties so they should be okay in a 30 gallon. That's what I'd suggest getting.

I started my goldfish out in a five gallon and moved up to a 10 then to a 20. My goldfish is in a 250 gallon outside tank and my 10 and 20 gallons have other fish in them now. I would suggest a 20 just because it isn't that expensive and there is a lot of room (I have a long 20 gallon and not a deep one). I bought all my tanks at Wal-mart and I have had them for close to 20 years.

does walmart sell stands too. go figure i never knoew walmart sold any fish stuff. learn something new everday huh? LOL
:p:

The 29g at Wal-Mart might be okay (since these are fancy goldies and not comets)and they sell stands for it also. I know that some Wal-Marts carry a 55g and stands as well. I really think that it would be better for your goldfish than the 29g and you could add another fancy goldfish with them. Bigger tanks leave more room for error and goldfish are really messy fish.:)

I live in a one-horse town and our walmart sells stands, tanks, decor, fish, etc. If your walmart doesn't they you can go on the walmart.com site and order from there. I order other stuff from there and I received in with in five days, but I also had them send it snail mail too. Good luck.

thank everyone i really do apreciate all the help that i have recd. if you also have any advice on how to take care of the fishes as i had never had the "fancy" kind before i would really mush appreciate it. i am open tro comments, opinions and even critcism.

Marineland makes a 29 Gal with the eclipse hood/filter setup that would mont likely be just what you need.

Then again, the Wal-Mart 55 Gal setup might be better for ya!

Good luck with your fish. I hope it works out for you. If you have anymore questions please ask. Let us know when you get your new tank up and running.
