I have recently bought a 15 litre aquarium starter kit from a well known
hardware store.
I have 1 shubunkin in it, is 15l  not really big enough?
Have changed water &  removed undergravel filter as it was pretty useless:
didn't realise you had to vacuum gravel as well!

15 litres is much much much to small for a shubunkin! You need about 35 litres
minimum
ideally you would need about 70 litres!

It is a very small aquarium.
If the fish is 3 cm, it is ok for 2 or 3 days ;)
If the fish is more than 3 cm, beginners here can check it on:
