Hi, After searching the internet I have read so many conflicting things about fish tanks and the size/number/shape of tank and fish. I am hoping someone can give me advice before my lovely fish die.
I currently have 2 coldwater goldfish both about 8-10cm long, these are in a 35L rectangluar tank (I now know this is too small) I was given these as a present and have had them for 3 yrs, a friend got them from a fairground. I want to get them a bigger tank and am fairly restricted on space (have 18mth toddler which takes up most of it). I fell in love with a Bioorb 60L tank but some reviews say these are not suitable for goldfish and the size of the surface of the water is an issue.
How big a tank do I need for these 2 fish? Im not sure I have the space for a massive rectangular one which was why I was so happy when I saw the biorb.
It sounds daft but I love my fish and really want what is best for them if at all possible.
Would appreciate some advice from any of you experts rather than incorrect advice that I seem to get from the people in shops (local to me).
Many thanks
