He's a comet, definitely, and a lovely one at that! I have a some, they're darlings. he'll be fine in the 20g for a few days, there's really no chance of an appreciable ammonia spike. I mean, they produce a huge amount of waste compared to most aquarium fish, but one guy in a 20 isn't going to murk up the place in two days. My two largest are a bit bigger than your guy right now, and they lived in a 20 for almost a year with no issues. He'll have no problem for a couple days.
Well he will have to stay in the 20 gallon until tomorrow or saturday at the most. I got the pond cleaned and filled. I put the filter back in. I want to let the filter run for at least a few hours before I put him back in. The water was pretty cloudy and there is probably some stuff I missed when I cleaned. So hopefully the water will be nice and clear tomorrow. I now have another goldfish in the 20 gallon tank with him. I got this goldfish from work, he was for adoption. The smaller goldfish is about 2 inches. I did do a 40 to 50% water change in the 20 gallon. If the weather isn't too bad they will go out tomorrow. We might be getting snow tomorrow.
Mgamer20o0 here are two pictures of my 80 gallon contanier pond.
They were taken when I was refilling it this afternoon.
I forgot to mention I've had the smaller goldfish about 2 or 3 months. I kept him in a 2 gallon contanier. So I figured that I could move him outside if it's warm enough.
