Minimum Requirements

[Forestpisces]

hi just wondering what is the minimum tank size required for 3 fancy goldfish (one blue oranda one ryukin and one black moor). Would 160 litres be ok? i only really work in litres but any help is appreciated.

that would be fine

Sounds fine to me.
But you will need double filteraton as goldfish are massive waste producers. so you might need to add another filter to the tank.

Thanks. what would be the smallest possible tank size for these ( i know this sounds odd but i want to house the fish well but my other half is insisting we dont have the space for a 160litre tank despite the fact that we do)

You would need a 35 gal.
First fancy goldfish 15 gallons and 10 gal for every other one added.
So you would also need a 70 gallon filter.
