goldfish need at least 10 gallons - 20 to 30 per fish is best
even though they look healthy not being in a big enough tank (20-30 gallons per fish) will stunt their growth which means that their internal organs keep growing and their bodies stop . this usually ends in premature death of goldfish --- they live for 15 - 40 years if they are not lasting that long then they are not being looked after properly .
I appreciate your concern and I'm certainly not one to be lax about the space my fish have! Got no plans to add any more fish and I believe that 40g+ is plenty for these three for now. They have waterchanges weekly and are very content little fellahs! Thanks for addressing this.
isnt that tank a bit small for all those goldfish
