is it true that if you leave a goldfish alone in the fish tank, it will grow extremely big2007-11-24 23:37:22

Overstocking the tank can increase these levels also. As a general rule of thumb you should have one gallon of water per inch of fish when stocking with tropical fish and three gallons of water per one inch of fish water when stocking with goldfish. Excess waste caused by overstocking, like excess food, gives off ammonia and nitrites.

Proper filtration and aeration are other things you may want to

consider. Make sure the filter is working properly and that the water is well oxygenated.

It depends on the size of the tank, not how many. The bigger the tank, the bigger the fish and vice versa.

No i had around 9 goldfish in my tank and the smallest grew the biggest and lasted 3 years

It can grow up to the size set by its genetics assuming it receives adequate food. A goldfish species that grows up to 2 inches will only grow up to 2 inches unless you alter its' genetics.

From what I've seen, yes, it can. A neighbor had a fish pond that was neglected, and when he cleaned it out, the sole survivor was a huge goldfish. Not quite big enough to fillet and serve with lemon butter, but bigger than any goldfish I'd ever seen before.

It is not being alone that will allow it to grow, it' the amount of space that he has to swim in. I have seen goldfish that were about 8-10 inches. they were allowed to take over a large swimming pool. It was not being used at the time however. They seemed to grow rather quickly. They were in the pool for approximately 6 to 9 months.
