bluejett Fingerling Posts: 22 Kudos: 11 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Jul-2004   | goldies too many for a 55g tank? I`ve had about 5 in a 5g tank before I knew nothing about fish so I`ve moved to the 55g. I also have 3 tetras in there that have been in with them ever since I got them(3yrs ago), remember I didnt know anything abouty fish ok so dont flame me  |

I've got 3 five year olds and they are from 6 to 9 inches long. Two adults with some small dither fish would be a good fit for a 55 gallon. For goldies, its not just the size, but the waste they produce. The only fish I've had that poops more is my pleco  |
