GOldfish stocking ( not so sure any more)

I have a 30 galion rectangle tank. How many 1 inch goldfish can it hold.
Heres the fish I have presently...


2 Shubunkins
1 small oranda red cap
2 pearlscales
1 fantail
2 snails (realy realy small)
1 small wiptail catfish

They are all small right now.
I have a wisper 30 - 40 galon filter
and
a deep water airator attatced to 1-2 airation things like a treasure chest or
large airstones or small air stones.

HOw many fish can i have in that tank????? :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

 

your full

as for the poll i picked other i have a 125 50 30 and a 10

 

The goldfish aren't going to stay 1 inch so that's totally irrelevant.

Your shubunkin goldfish will get 8" - 10" and need about 30 - 40 gallons each. Orandas, pearlscales, and fantails all get around 6" and need at least 15 - 20 gallons each.

So for all those goldfish, you're looking at needing about 120 - 160 gallons.

If you can't get a larger tank very soon (within the next few months), I suggest getting rid of all but one of the goldfish.

And to answer your poll, I have a pond that's currently 750 gallons (but will be made larger this spring). It currently has 2 fantails and a shubunkin (had 4 fantails & 2 shubunkins but there was a mishap with the filter ). When I finish redoing it, it will be closer to 1000 gallons and I plan on keeping about 12 shubunkin & fantail goldfish and 1 - 2 dozen minnows.

Im getting a bigger one in June. Is it enof?
Im going to upgrade to a bigger tank every now and then.


Im also saving for a new one (again) sometime and aining for a 150 gallon...
Its a dream.


I wqant to know how many 1 inches because they wont get to big befor June because


2 pearlscales 3-4 cm
1 fantail 5 cm
oranda red cap 1\2 cm
2 shubunkins 1 cm

all aproximite.






TA TA!

Your current fish should make it to June, but you'd be a lot better off just getting the 150 rather than upgrading every month or so. It will be a lot cheaper, less work for you (setting up a new tank and transferring fish is quite time consuming), and a lot less stressful for the fish.

Can I start with a 55 then get a 115 ?



THat way they dont out grow their tank before I have enof money.



Oh sorry for the misstake.
1 oranda red cap 11 cm!


Or something like that!

Thanx

Yes, you can get by with a 55 for a while (maybe about 6 months or so). Then I suggest getting no smaller than a 130 gallon.
