Two Tanks  Big Fish Posts: 449 Kudos: 328 Votes: 13 Registered: 02-Jun-2003  | No, gold fish get quite large. A two and a half gallon is even too small for just one gold fish. The snail is OK, but go with something like a betta. You need a big tank for gold fish, or better yet, a pond. |

jasonpisani  *Ultimate Fish Guru* Posts: 5553 Kudos: 7215 Votes: 1024 Registered: 24-Feb-2003  | Goldfish need ponds & not small tanks. If you put Goldfishes in small tank, they will get stunted & don't grow. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

bettachris   Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | i know it is tempting to put a goldfish in a bowl, b/c thats what people of this culter have pre-programmed in ur mind, but like every one said, goldfish get big, from the common goldfish to bubble eyes, they get big. |
