Here's my situation. I have 5 zebra danios in a 5 gallon tank, one tiny 1 1/4"calico fantail goldfish in a 10 gallon and a 3" gold fantail in a 20 gallon.
I admit the zebras are not getting along well as far as aggression issues go. Since the aponogeton bulb I planted sprouted and virtually took over the tank, they seem to be doing a little better having natural hiding places, but I realize now that zebras need a larger tank than the one I put them in.
The 10 gallon tank is sufficient for the bioload of the small goldfish ("Tiger") right now, but I'm a little concerned about the effects it might have on his growth rate in the future. It's hard to tell but I think Tiger's already grown some since I bought him/her.
The 20 gallon is supposedly large enough for the fantail, I'm told, but I would eventually like to put the two goldfish I have together, and that would require at least 30 gallons, if not 40.
Anyone here have experience getting a used tank?
