Someone locally is selling a 30 gallon setup with 5 goldfish for CAD $40.
From what I've read, that tank is too small. However, I am not ready to get a bigger tank anytime soon (money and space factors).
I'm at a bit of an ethical dilemma here and looking for thoughts and suggestions. I'd like to get the tank because it is a good deal, but I know it's not a great life for the fish. I'm indifferent about goldfish; I wouldn't pick them, but I'm happy enough to have them. I know I could euthanize them and use the tank, but I don't feel quite right about that either (seems more like murder). Or I could leave them in there and run it as is.
I want honest thoughts here folks. I don't want to make a poor decision one way or the other. Open to any suggestions.
And from the picture, can a tell me more about what kind of goldfish these are, age, anything?
