Anyone can put them in a tank but the important question is... >2 will they be ok? What kind of fish are they? Are they just normal plain looking goldfish (in which case yes, they should be fine) or are they fancy ones (in which case they have been bred to be decorative and I dont know how hardy they will be)? I don't know much about goldfish, but I adopted all kinds of fish from a friend who was moving, and his common-or-garden goldfish went into a friend's pond. In fact, I'm told it is really happy now with the other fish in there and it sounds like a successful rehoming. >3 anyone living in dunstable area have room for 2 goldfish? If you are desparate, ask your local fish shop if they will take them - better that and then they get sold to someone with room than you have to kill them. Hope that helps, sorry I don't know any more to add.

The aquarium is more like an item of furniture - if it was a planted one (i.e you were just doing it because you love aquascaping) they might think you were weird but they wouldn't be able to stop you. So what's a few fish in there as well? They don't dig holes or pee on things or leave hair or smell! >the last twice moves (terrible grammar) have not been far apart but this >time is approx 3 hr move Ok, well have a look at http://www.gorge.org/fish/moving.shtml if you need advice but it sounds like you have it covered! To be honest I think a fish is ok in a bag for one hour or six. I hate to see them in there, but if they are bagged and settled there is no harm leaving them longer. Just make sure your filter media is kept damp but open to the air and you'll be sorted. Good luck!
