This is a 110l (~30 us gallons) tank I purchased almost 2 weeks ago, to house my 2 fantail goldfish I bought thinking they were oranda goldfish (pet store has wrong name on the label, and they haven't shown any wen growth in the month and a bit we have had them).

It's only lightly planted but most of the plants are young stem plants/cuttings so they should grow out a bit as long as the fish don't eat them, but it currently has a 1200lph filter on it, plus will be getting a 350lph secondary filter on as a secondary to deal with all the waste goldfish make
 
fantail goldfish grow fairly slow compared to comets,especialy in a 30 gal, but they will grow , my goldfish in my breeding pond are small but the babies, that I put into another pond are huge .they get different diets to make them grow fast so I can sell them as pond gold fish they are 4 times the size as my breeders. you cant do that in a fish tank,You will pollute your water. Be patient the fish will get bigger it takes time,enjoy them while there small,they will start eating plants that they like.
