Answer 2

Putting four goldfish in a 20 gallon tank is fine. The rule is 1 inch of fish for every gallon but the caution with goldifsh is that they are very dirty so you will need powerful filteration but you could probably get 2 more fish is they are only small. :) x  

Answer 3

Your friend was lucky. The fish eventually died, right? You can *slightly* overstock a tank with heavy filtration, most fish stores do, but this housing situation is only temporary and not all that good for them.

Two small "baby" goldfish fit a 20. Once they start growing to near adult size (3-5 years) one in a 20 is probably too much.
