Sorry to tell you that is far to small for even one Comet Gold fish. Or do you have a 56gal tank? US or UK gal are different. Babelfish will follow up fore sure and show you a photo of what a Comet grows to. In the mean time just do a 2-3lt treated water change every day at least this will help to keep the water clean. The gravel I would remove it at least weekly and clean it in the water you have just taken out of the tank. It is either that or buy a small Gravel Vac and do a cleaning at least twice a week. Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
