They are beautiful and great to keep in an aquarium but we hate to break it to you - they are not the best starter fish for beginners as they are often made out to be. The reasons for this are as follows:
1. THEY WILL GROW INTO THEIR ADULT SIZE EVENTUALLY
In most cases, people keep goldfi sh in a small bowl or a small tank and the size they will grow into is often ignored. A bowl or a small tank is too small for their needs. Goldfi sh need at least 50 litres individually and they do not like to be alone so you will need at least 150 litres for a bunch of them. They will seem small when you see them in a pet shop but they can actually grow up to 15 inches or more. A popular misconception is that they will adapt to the size of the bowl or tank. A tank that is not suitable for them will result in stunted growth and your fi sh will eventually die because its organs, fi ns, etc. will keep on growing and the bowl or small tank won’t be able to accommodate the goldfi sh anymore.
