File:Goldfish Care Basics Tank Size

Description
In this video, I share my opinion about what goldfish stocking guidelines should be. There are many opinions out there, but basically the more space you can provide your fish, the better! I'll explain why in this video.

Remember, these specific guidelines are just my opinion. But one thing that all goldfish hobbyists agree on is the more space, the better. Goldfish are big fish, and big waste producers. They are not at all suitable for small "starter kit" tanks or bowls.

It's important to note that the stocking guidelines do vary depending on the size of your fish. HOWEVER, that is not a license to keep on overstocked tank! You should never wait for your fish to grow larger until upgrading to a larger tank! If small fish are kept in a small tank for a long time, there is some evidence that they can become stunted - meaning they will never grow as large as they were meant to. It's an unhealthy condition. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and give your fish more space.
