A fancy goldfish needs 20 gallons on it's own, plus 10 gallons each per additional fish (2 goldfish for 30 gallons, 3 in 40 gallons etc).
Fancy goldfish can grow quite large, and they are very high waste producers; anything less can shorten their lifespan and cause them harm from the toxins in the water.

∙ 12y agoIf you use an old rule of thumb guide you will not go far wrong, that is :- 1 inch of fish to 1 gal of water. That's 10 off 5inch fish or any way you like to permutate it.

∙ 12y agoThe size of the tank matters. You multiply the length by the width by the depth in cms then divide by 1000. And that's how much liters you will need. :D

How many goldfish can you keep in a 14 gallon tank?
I would personally say none, not for their entire lives anyway. You may get away with 2 Fancy Goldfish juveniles for a couple of months, but really Fancy Goldfish need a minimum of 20 gallons each and Common/Comet Goldfish a minimum of 55 gallons each for their entire lives! They get very big, are very messy and need a lot of water volume!
How many goldfish would an 80 gallon fresh water tank take?
If they are fancy goldfish (the plump looking ones) then 6 or so would do well in an 80 gallon when fully grown if they are common goldfish, then 2 maybe 3 when full grown would be ok as they reach a whole foot long! This may seem like its not many fish for a large tank however goldfish are real poo machines and good filtration is a must.

Two: There's commons and comets (Comets have longer fins). These are generally excluded from the "fancy" category. If you see a sign in your pet store labelling a non-fancy goldfish as "shubunkin", that's just the coloration. It's either a common goldfish, or a comet-tailed one.
