i also have 4 white skirt tetras in there (it was their home first before the shibunken crashed the party) but the good part is that the skirt tetras are so fast they can nab the food way before the derpy bros

That’s amazing! They must be so beautiful😁

I agree. Not only that, i feel like it would be cruel to eat fish. Or any kind of seafood

Yeah.... No. Once in a blue moon a shubunkin grows over 8 inches lol. This is also only achieved if kept in a pond or aquarium in excess of 100 gallons. Vast majority of them grow about 5-7 inches meaning they are perfect for the '20 gallon for first goldfish and another 10 for each additional individual.'

@@stylishcanadianhistorian1433 Even a simple KZfaq search of common goldfish will totally disprove you here. They are common goldfish and get well over the size you are claiming with proper care. You might stunt one in a tank as small as 20 gallons, but it wouldn’t thrive. Do a little research. They very commonly grow to 12 inches and they produce far too much waste for 20 gallons of water, and it’s not the best to keep them alone anyways.

And yet fish stores won't hesitate to house 20-35 of em in a 20 gallon tank.

I agree cause they are known for getting bigger than normal so as the ole saying goes BIGGER Is ALWAYS BETTER for such breed of fish.

i achieved it with my discus tank and you're right about the plants

According to this video that would be perfect.

They need a big tank because they grow up to 12” if kept in cleanest water with enough room to move. If you get a 20 gallon tank you will just end up either getting a bigger tank, stand, filter, etc, or finding a home….just get a big set up now and love your goldie

Hows it doing now?

@@Unkn0wn1133doing well don't forget to keep the plant that will absorb the toxic from waste

yes
