How man guppies will it take to make the bioload of a goldfish?
How many betas make up the bioload of a goldfish?
Thanks

I suppose it depends in the size and shape of the goldfish. Even if the goldfish's dimensions were known, I don't know if there is a formula for this kind of conversion.

Is this related to the thread about how many guppies and betas can be stocked in a 10 gallon tank?

No, I'm just wondering just how messy goldfish are

Lots of goldfish owners on this forum would agree that they are messy, bioload wise. Adequate space, filtration, and water changes will keep them happy.

Ok, so in a scale of 1-10, how messy

 

[azmodan]

If 5 is an average fish then probably a 10.

 

[Scottyhorse]

probably more of a 12

My inner mad scientist is now itching to set up an experiment to test this now. Too bad I don't have the extra tanks for it.
