Answers:
Goldfish don't grow to their environment, they get stunted and then die much younger then they would have. That myth is false.
It depends on what type of goldfish you get, and how long you want them to live and how big you want them to grow - a common goldfish can grow to well over a foot long and live for 30 years, and a huge tank or pond is really needed for a complete life.
More realistically, ideally for a typical fancy goldfish it would be nice if you can get them a 30 gallon tank or larger for them.
very small...gold fish grow depending on the size of the tank so if you get small gold fish in a small tank, they will stay small to match. if you get a big tank they will grow bigger.
it should be 15 inches long 12 inches wide and 8 inches high
What if you had a dog and kept it in a very small cage... Same thing as a fish, you just don't hear it whine or complain... Just like Ghapy said fish do not grow to their environment. It's very painful for them to grow in a small tank; they will go through pain living in something small with no room to swim. I say atleast a 30 gallon tank, and 2 filters or one very nice filter. There are many different dimensions for a 30 gallon, but my friend has a 30 gallon and here's his...
60 3/4" Length
17 1/2" Wide
19 3/4" Deep
Good luck
10 gallons
I have to agree here it depends on the type of goldfish you get. While many fantails rarely get over 7" 2 can live long happy lives in a 10 gallon with a good filter. However comets or common goldfish can reach excess of 3 feet and could never survive in a 10 gallon tank.
a 10 gallon has various sizes so depending on the type you are looking for a standard 10 will work with 2 fan tails.
