Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / May 2004small tank=small fish?
in my 20 gallon tank, i have four orandas, two 2.5-inchers and two 1.5-inchers. so far, everyone is happy and healthy. will their growth be stunted because of the tank size OR are they going to grow so big that i'll need a larger aquarium? i read somewhere that they grow to the size of their tank. in this case, i'm hoping they don't grow much more. thanks for any insight. they will be stunted, sorta like trying to raise a kid in a closet. it will be more difficult to keep the tank stable. use a nitrates test to determine when to do water changes.. keep nitrates at or below 20 ppm. feed very small quantities of the highest quality GF food you can get.

If you want to depress yourself to no end then read "Flowers in the attic" by Virginia Andrews. -- **So long, and thanks for all the fish!** we got so many cases of horrible child abuse in Wisconsin makes me sick to my stomach. nothing sends me off like children being abused.
