    Fin rot? I see fine fins. A ten gallon is fine for a small goldie. It seems you know a little about cycling so you'll be able to see to it that the water conditions are good, but they should be fine. I have a goldie tank fully cycled with a box filter, and I still have aquarium people telling me that's impossible and I must do water changes daily. Parameters read 0/0/5 everyday and I barely touch the water.

    Just to add: 1 inch of full grown Goldfish per 2.5 gallons. Keeping them in small tanks can promote growth stunting which is where the outside of the fish stops growing and the inside keeps growing. This is where most people think that fish grow to the size of their tanks. It is very painful for the fish and a nasty way for them to die. I am not trying to be rude or bash you I am just informing you

    He is very stunning! As a fantail owner myself, never seen a goldfish like that! wow!

    I had my goldfish in a 10 gallon to start with. Once he started getting bigger, I bought a 55 gallon for really cheap, looking in the newspaper. Good luck he is stunning.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
