I have a particularly peacefull and healthy black moore and am looking to find out more about him and how others have kept goldfish. Right now hes a young guy , only 3 and a bit inches and lives his days on my counter in a 10g unplanted tank . Ive read a thousand stories about how goldfish are dirty and require alot of tank size, but for his size i feel like its just fine for now. I do frequent water changes usually 50 percent , feed him 3 times a day , his tank has no excessive algae or waste(hes with sand so his poop sits on top then gets vacd out) and water parameters are always good theoughout the week , am i crazy or is the bioload really not bad for his size? I do also realize he will outgrow the tank just swimming room. but im curious why everyone says you need 20 g min ?
