How big can goldfish get in an aquarium?I'm gonna get a new a new tank and more goldfish, but I don't know how big they are gonna get. I'm going to probably get 2 or 3 more goldfish and i already have 2. HOw big are they going to get and how big of a tank will i need?

P.S I already have 2, 3 inch goldfish.

It depends on the type of goldfish. Fancy types tend to be smaller than regular comet feeder goldfish. However, they all need at least a 20gal for a single fish and then 10gal more for each other fish. For example, for four goldfish, you need at least a 50gal tank.

We Have 3 And Are Keeping Them In A 30 Gallon Tank Untill We Move Them To Our Decorative Pond Outside. I Beleave 2 Are Comets And 1 Is Fancy. The Comets I Have Been Told Can Grow Upwards Of 18 Inches. The Fancys Tend To Smaller.
