your fish look nice, you have a full tank shot and also what size tank are they in?

 

[Jessu]

I can get a full tank shot...Is 5gal

 

[legendaryfrog]

your tank is toooo small. goldfish like that need a minimum of 40 gallons.

OMG! Goldfish in a 5g?!!?

Dont they grow with the tank?
I knew they could get big, I was under the impression that they would just stop at an ok size for the tank and their growth would just be stunted.

I do have a 10 gal tank that was my rats first home for a few weeks. Just got him a huge cage. Should I put them in the 10 gal.

that's not true. goldfish kept in tanks with proper water quality will grow large regardless of tank size, they get stunted when kept in tanks that are too small because their waste builds up too quickly for the filter to handle it, and it poisons them, thereby stopping their growth.

no. if you want to keep all 3, you will need a 55G tank.

Dose it cause them pain? Is it too late, they have been in there since the end of aug. Is their growth allready stunted?

better the 10 gal then the 5. the outside might stop growing but there inside dont. they keep growing until they burst.
