Are you wondering what is the ideal aquarium for your goldfish(ies)? Then this guide is here to help.
Everyone has in mind the image of little goldfish that you put in little round jars and spend their days going around in circles, but they don't do that for no reason, if goldfish do that, it's It's because those little bowls are too small and the goldfish are bored and unhappy in such small spaces. To prevent this from happening in your home, you must therefore choose an aquarium from the start that will be suitable and ideal for the life and well-being of your fish. You should know that goldfish are peaceful fish that can live with many other species by cohabiting peacefully. In addition to this, goldfish are not all red, there are multiple colors among this family of fish, of which here are some examples:
A goldfish placed in an aquarium that is too small runs the risk, as it grows, of being affected by dwarfism, that is to say that it will grow much less than normal, or even stop growing at all. It is also likely to live much shorter (a few years only), instead of the normal lifespan of a goldfish which can reach on average 30-35 years.
To avoid these problems we will therefore redirect you to aquariums of sufficient size and therefore more suitable, or to temporary aquariums of smaller sizes.
First, you should know that goldfish like to live in small groups of a few individuals, but they can without too many problems live alone even if it is preferable that they keep social interactions.
The ideal in terms of quantity of water for goldfish would be 200L, alone or with a few individuals (3-4 max). But once past a certain age or a certain size, we advise you to leave 200 Liters free for a single individual. This will allow him to grow more easily and to be able to live a long time while having sufficient space. It is also possible to place them in smaller aquariums, but for a limited time then, not for their entire life.
However, if you decide to go for an aquarium of at least 200L or more while having one or few goldfish, you will have the possibility of mixing them with a lot of other species with which they can cohabit without any problem.
On the other hand, if you want to place them in a smaller aquarium (as said before), this is possible, but they cannot stay there all their lives or risk being in poor health, however if you place them -there for a short time only this is possible, but we do not recommend that you go below 150 liters +-.
The HighLine range from Oase therefore always offers several solutions approaching this liter (Between 150 and 200L) and therefore the minimum conditions necessary for the well-being of your goldfish.
The Superfish brand offers 146L aquariums, which could be suitable as a temporary aquarium for goldfish. The advantage of these aquariums is that they are sold in complete kits, that is to say with all the devices and accessories necessary for the proper start of the aquarium.
This can allow neophytes to start in good conditions, while having a good basis for the first times of a goldfish. The regulars will also find their happiness thanks to the simplicity of maintenance and use of these models. It is always possible to add additional decorations (especially thanks to Superfish's very varied range of decorations) and to put other species of fish, according to your wishes and if the conditions necessary for their well-being are favorable.
