Is it ok to put two goldfish in the same bowl?

Question

I might be getting two or three but I only have one bowl.

Answer 1

It's not OK to keep any fish in a bowl.  One goldfish requires a minimum of a 20 gallon tank with 10 more gallons for each additional fish.  Keeping them in small bowls leads to stunting and organ failure.  A full grown fancy goldfish will be 8" long and a common will be 10".  The water in a bowl will be fouled so quickly that the fish will be suffering ammonia poisoning in a matter of hours.

Answer 2

You can't put any Goldfish in a bowl.

Fancy Goldfish grow up to a foot long and require a 20 gallon tank, and 10 gallons for any other Fancies. Common Goldfish grow up to a foot and a half long and require a 55 gallon tank, and 15 gallons for any additional ones. And they also need a good sized filter as well since they are heavy poopers.

Placing a Goldfish in a bowl will stunt them, meaning their bodies stop growing, but their organs don't. Read this article on Goldfish in bowls: http://www.epinions.com/content_31856149...

Answer 3

Yes because i had four goldfish in a bowl and they were just fine but i moved them to a larger tank now. But two you can keep in a bowl.

Answer 4

It really depends on the size of the tank (or bowl).  

Answer 5

no.  A bowl is too small for two goldfish.  Fancy's will grow to around8 inches and two of them will not fit in a bowl.  Two fancy's will however fit in a 10 gallon.  Perhaps you may want to Upgrade.  

Get only one in a large enough bowl to house him at full growth.  No more than one.

Answer 6

you really shouldn't use bowls as they are bad for the fish with high ammonia levels and low amounts of oxygen this fish is really surviving rather than thriving i would get a tank for about £30 from pets at home you get a 19 gallon
