I found a 60 litre plastic storage container in my shed. Would I be able to make a small pond out of that for my 2 fantail goldfish? What do I need for a pond as well would help alot? Thanks.
Can I use this as a pond?

you could make it into a pond, but you wouldn't be able to put goldfish in it. you could try mosquito fish, though.
i just need to get them out of the tank they are in since its only a 5 gallon. so how long will i be able to keep them in that container?
ok thanks ill try and find something bigger for them as soon as possible. What do i need for the pond do i need a filter or anything?

that container needs to be cycled before the fish are put in there. You can speed this up if you use the media from your 5 gallon. I wouldn't even give it a couple months for the size..... I think you should be looking to invest in a 40+ gallon tank sooner rather than later. The problem comes from not only the bioload these fish expel into the water but hormones as well. Water changes will need to be daily.
