The first Goldfish needs 20 gallons of water and all other Goldfish in the tank need an additional 10 gallons each. I know it is a lot of water for just a few fish but if they are kept in a smaller tank then they will become 'stunted' which means that they stop growing but their organs do not, which results in a slow painful death. Poor fishies! :'(
Also Fancy Goldfish such as Fantails, Orandas, Black Moors, Lionheads and Pearlscales such not be kept with Comets and Common Goldfish, as they cannot swim as fast as Comets and Commons so will end up starving to death through lack of food at feeding time.
I hope I helped :)

How many 1.5 inch goldfish can a fiftyfive gallon aquarium hold?
Although the goldfish are very small and it may be tempting to put many goldfish in a tank that large, you have to resist these urges if you want your fish to be happy and healthy. Keep in mind that goldfish grow very large: 6-8 inches for the fancies, 6-12 inches for the more common ones. The rule of thumb "one inch of fish per gallon" just does not work with goldfish. A more accurate measurement of goldfish per gallon would be " for each inch of goldfish allow 3-4 gallons of water". Hope this helps- and remember though the fish are small now, they will soon grow very large and beautiful.
