Will my fish tank be over stocked if?

Question

ok i am buying a goldfish tank 55 gallons today will it be over stocked if i keep 2 black Moore's a fantail goldfish and 4 comets

i will have heavy duty filters and i change water 2 times a week aka 20% so the poo i am not worried about

Answer 1

YES plenty of room 4 ur fishies good luck

except 4 a few comets u need more space

Answer 2

Black moors  max at 8-10" each = about 18"

Fantail around 6"

COMETS up to 20" each...OOPS!

Yes, your tank will be overstocked.  I'd suggest another black moor and go with that.

Answer 3

sounds good to me

Answer 4

You should have plenty of room, but you should use the rule 1 inch of fish per gallon of water (tails not included) meaning that you can have 55 inches of fish, but do not add them too quickly.

Answer 5

2 black Moors and a Fantail would be ok, but certainly not Comets.

Comets grow longer than foot, and 1 requires a 55 gallon.

Good job on the filtration.

And no don't follow the 1" per 1 gallon "rule", because you can't fit a 55 inch Iridescent Shark in your 55 gallon tank.

Answer 6

I think youll be fine just wait to see if comets grow. :D
