Could I Get Another Goldfish?

Hello all! Sorry for the long post but I want all the details so I can get the best advice.

I first joined this forum to get help with my 2 goldfish I was having problems with. At the time I wasn't properly taking care of the tank and water changes and a lot of , literally, caused one of my goldies to die from septicimea.

After that heartbreak I started a water change journal, bought better buckets for water changes and eventually got that fancy python that hooks up to the sink! (best thing ever!)

When I first got the tank I was told it was 40g. After losing my fish I figured it was only 20g. But after a water change this morning I decided to measure it and I'm thinking it might actually be a 30g? I used this website Calculating Aquarium Volume How Can I Figure Out How Much Water My Fish Tank Holds?

The size is 30in long 13in tall and 17in deep.

So long story short if it really is a 30g, and since ive been a better fish mom with water changes do you all think I could get one more to keep with my black moore?

 

The tank is a 29 gallon. You could be able to get another goldfish of the variations that tend to stay smaller or don't swim as well(like lionheads), provided that you have an appropriate amount of filtration.

 

I knew someone as gonna catch me with that 1 gallon lol, but does it really make a huge difference? (real question not being sarcastic)

The pic I posted is kind of old, I usually have the water all the way up.

And I shouldve added since that sad event I added another filter from a tank I wasny using. So there's a aquatech 20-40 and a whisper 20i

If your talking about the amount of gallons, not really. But if you are talking about dimensions, the 30 gallon is a lot longer than the 29 gallon.

Ok so its about the amount of swimming room? My black moore sorta has a finding nemo fin so a slower companion would be good.

My lfs has some nice orandas, would one of those be compatible speed/ room wise?

Orandas would get to big (8-9") , to share with your back Moore in a 29 gallon , you'd be better off getting a Lionhead or Ranchu.

With Goldfish lenght is better.

Your right I completely forgot to check how long the get. Atm there are no lionheads or ranchus available.

It was really just a thought. The tank looks so empty with the one guy in there.

I would diffenetly recommend getting a friend , Goldfish are Social fish and need the company. However I would wait for a Ranchu or Lionhead to be available.

Would another black moore be ok? I really like this guy so why not 2?
