Re: Goldfish
I would say that is over crowding. Goldfish needs a lot of space to swim, else their growth will be stunted. Try getting a bigger tank like 3 ft and above.

Yes,
9 Goldfish is too much to place in a 15 gallon aquarium. You have to realize that Goldfish can grow to a large size and by overcrowding them in such a small environment, it will stunt its growth development. I good idea is to follow the 1nch/1 gallon rule when trying to see the amount of fish you would like to keep. Regards

If you intend to keep so many goldfish....remember to get a very good filter...the best get ehiem canister filter....
they produce a lot of waste and it will give out ammonia gas |

yupz  actually I really wanna keep goldfish too...but then I think it'll be a bit of a squeeze even with a really good filter... DO you know of anyone who has succeeded in making 9 goldfish live happily in a two ft tank?
