I know how you all feel about fish and that but I learned while reading the posts that gold fish need atleast 10 gallons per fish right?

Well look at this!

3 in a 5 gallon hex? cant be good...

I aggree that 3 in a 5 gal wouldn't be good, however that tank only shows the fish as an illistration. many small tanks are advertised on the box like this with a very small disclaimer pointing out that small tanks are for small fish or words to that effect.

yup i think that right there is a good betta home and maybe a few otos can be in there or a few neons or cardinals or headlights

eek that reminds me of my friend who keeps a gold fish in a 10 gallon, and just added a lionhead goldfish & a fantail

 

[MrMashashin]

those lion heads are cool but they kinda grose me out

i wouldnt put anything in there except a betta. there isnt enough floor space for ottos or cories. there is certainly not enough room for tetras. its only a 3 gallon!

most companies that sell aquariums use pictures with 320832492343498 fish in a 5 gallon. i think this is where most people new to fishkeeping get the ideas that they can put bettas in thimbles and sharks in bowls...
