Hello everyone. This site was reccommended to me so I figured I would join and check it out.

I am having a bit of a problem with overcrowding as I was just given 6 assorted goldfish a week ago. I had no choice but to put them in my 20 gallon tank with my other 3 fish.

I have a 32 gallon that is not being used because it is missing components such as a filter, lid, etc. It is a full foot longer than the 20gal so I believe it will be a bit of an upgrade for the larger fish. I was planning on moving my three fish into it, but now I have the other ones complicating everything. haha

I refuse to buy a brand new tank unless I absolutely have to, it's not a money issue, more of a space / parent's house issue. I do not have a pond nor can I build one, and a kiddie pool just isn't feasible. Unless I can keep it in the garage during the winter.

I believe that some of the fish given to me are a bit stunted already, and I want to encourage growth, not prevent it. :)

If anyone has any advice or help to offer, please contact me!

Welcome to AC! I would start a thread in our Coldwater Forums for more advice...though it will most likely be to find another home for them or get a much bigger tank.

Welcome! Lupin and Kris will probably be lurking around here soon to help you out! They are the gods of goldfish IMO.
