I have 2 fantails in a 35g tank. One is about 1/2 inch and the other approx 3 inches. The only other fish i have in my tank is a weather loach. The weather Loach gets along fine with the goldfish even at feeding. Im not planning on getting any other fish but i really dont think i should panick and run out and buy a 60g tank cause the word out there is 30 gallons per fish. Truth is who really knows just how much space a goldfish needs. Every site i have been on will tell you something different. Is a matter of fact i just read today that 30g per gold fish really is for maintence purposes. Another site will tell you a goldfish must have 30g in order to survive for 15-20 years. iv'e seen it recomended 10g per goldfish or 1inch of fish per 30square inches of surface area or whatever. I think if u just dont overstock to the point where your filter or biolgical filter can not handle the load, keep in mind your particular type of gold fish size may become, keep up with the cleaning, water changes ect things should be ok
