My goldie tank

[superjalami30]

Here's my goldie tank, of course come picture size they both run for cover.
There in a 25 G high.

I compensate the lack of surface area buy using two aquaclear filters and a Pro 1 powerhead that pumps 260G per hour skimming across the surface.
I'm pretty sure there's enough O2 in there for them.

looks nice, hey how ling does it take a veiltail goldfish to get it's max size?

I'm not sure Mac daddy, But I know I've had this fancy tail for about 2 years and it's no bigger than 3 inches (not including its tail).

I know, my little baby is only 1 year 3 month old. When I tell everyone that he's still a baby they say no he's not, and when I tell them that they can live for up to 60 years, they just laugh.

Did you keep it in a small tank at any point?

I've seen fancy tails up to 5inchs long so i know they can get that long but im no goldfish expert and im sure theres different breeds just as there are color variations.
By the way, nice goldy tank B)

He was in a 10 G tank for awhile, but he's not stunted if thats what your getting at.

He's a fancy calico, his body is about 3 inches and his tail approx 2.5 inches.

I have plants in the tank goldies wont eat, java fern, java moss, anubius, and val.

I do have a big red tiger lotus I just put in there last week, but I have several that size and bigger, so I'm not too worried if they eat it.
In the foreground I have some pygmy chain sword and dwarf sag, I'm going to see if it will take off in 74 degree water with a Ph of 7.5. "before" they eat it all.

Thanks for the comments guys.
