Goldfish need 30 square inches of surface area for each inch of fish. To work out how many fish you can keep in your tank, multiply the length by the depth. Lets say your tank is 18 inches long, 10 inches deep, and ten inches high. If we multiply the length (18) by the depth (10) we come up with 180 square inches of surface area. Since we need 30 square inches of SA for each inch of fish, we can keep 6 inches of fish. So i could keep 6 one inch fish in this tank. Or i could keep 3 two inch fish in this tank. Or 2 three inch fish. Or anycombanation that adds up to six inches. Don't forget goldfish grow! The above formula works if the top of the tank is rectangle. Be sure to count the fish's tail when considering how many inches of fish you have. It's not about the gallons, it's about the surface area!
a 18x10x10 tank is about 5gals, do you honestly think you can keep a six inch fish in a 5gal?

Troll alert!
Anyone who really thinks that one 6' fish is the equivalent of six 1" fish need some training in mass and metabolism.

hey, blaim the goldfish sancutary, not me. Thats where i got the info from. What did i do? Here is the website, if you want to make anymore critisms:
www.goldfishsancutary.com
www.goldfishsancutary.com
Repeating incorrect information does not improve it at all.
Perhaps it might even help if you got the URL correct, but the info provided is still inadequate.

I blame ignorance, which has nothing to do with fairgrounds. Would you blame the pet stores for selling you 4 oscars for a 10 gallon tank, just because they told you it would work? Or better yet, because they never asked you what size tank the fish were going in? I hope the answer is no.

I'm sorry if I come off as a real crap a** today, but I keep reading about this troll and all I have to say is ignore him. For heaven's sake, RTR has been more than polite about addressing this issue to everyone. The best thing you can do is ignore this guys posts, not encourage discussion in them. Anyway, who am I to say one way or the other - I don't know who this goldfishpoop guy is, all I know is he sounds highly annoying and uneducated - and doesn't really seem to want to learn. Therefore, ignore!

Oh shut up. You are whatever mood strikes you at the moment. And I hope to god if my post gets deleted then so does every other one here because this is redundant and silly... which is why I will not add anything else to it.
Okay stepping in now. GOLDFISHPOOP--your ISP is the same as a well known troll. If you have gender issues, this is not the palce to discuss them. If you are not in fact the same individual, your behavior is certainly similar. Knock it off. I'm asking nicely. Next move on my part will be to delete all of your posts. Then trial banning. Then we'll see about taking it further (especially considering that none of our well-behaved members use the ISP's your accounts use). Clear enough? If you want to remain a member, figure out that posting junk is NOT acceptable, that posting misinformation is NOT acceptable, and that baiting individuals into responding just to correct your errors is NOT acceptable. I, for one, will be watching. OG
