Can one live in a 3.5 gallon tank with a small goldfish?

I would say that a 3.5 gallon tank is a little too small. The main problem is that a goldfish is a cold water fish which does not require a heater. These Mexican dwarf CPO crayfish should be housed in a heated tank the same as you would keep tropical fish in. They don't share the same temperature requirement. One or both of them are going to suffer if you house them together depending on the set up.

They are just a big bigger than a ghost shrimp, so I think 3.5 gallons should be big enough...

Honestly, a 3.5 gallon tank isn't large enough for even a single goldfish. They are notorious for making waste. A goldfish needs at least a 10 gallon tank. This guy may do okay alone in a 3.5 gal tank, but move your goldfish to a 10 gal.

No I use it with a 3 gallon and it is great! You need the light with the glo tanks.

I would not put a goldfish in it. Goldfish are messy eaters and the filter is really wussy. To give you an idea of how weak the filter is, most 10 gallon tanks have filters that filter between 150 - 250 gallons of water per minute. This tank is a 4 gallon and has a filter that only filters 36 gallons of water per minute. Also a goldfish will outgrow this tank really quickly. The minimum tank size for a fantail goldfish is listed as a 30 gallon tank and they also need excellent filtration because they eat a lot and poop a lot. You could put a baby in a 4 gallon tank, but you would need a new tank really fast, and this tank would get polluted because of the inadequate filter and your fish would get sick.

Absolutely overkill for a 5 gallon tank. You need a 50watt at most. A 150watt would likely cook the little guppies.

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.

I would think so. That's about the size of my tank and I have two rather large goldfish and it works just fine.

We have not set it up yet because it is a birthday gift for my son. However I have talked to pet store people and they say you can put 1 inch of fish per gallon....so if it is a 5 gallon tank you can put 5 inches of fish. Then you could have 2 2.5 inch fish or about 6 fish that are 3/4 an inch. I hope this helps

these snails will do well in almost any size tank, the goldfish may pose a small problem but the breed prolifically so a few lost wont mean much overall.

Yes, but monitor the temperature very closely, I'm guessing your getting a Betta. If so the temperature should be around 80 degrees. I've been a fish keeper for years and my opinion would be get atleast a gallon tank. Half gallon is a bit too small for anything. My philosophy on fish tanks is get the biggest tank within your budget and space and save later before you realize you got too small of a tank for what you want.

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first.Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

Yes. Though it all depends on your ambient room temperature. I had a 29 gal Puget Sound aquarium and was able to maintain a 55 deg temp at a 75deg room temp.

Yes. This looks nice but, it doesn't clean like it's supposed to. You'll have to empty it often to keep a goldfish healthy.

I use 5 gallon and 3 gallon..........both are fine. I happen to like the 3 gallon better, because it's easier for me to handle. You'll like it!!!

You sure can. I added one to mine. Just make sure it is a heater for under a five gallon tank

This is not a solution to your problem. Goldfish average approximately 10" in length when grown (not including their tail). In just 3 month, it should be around 3" long (again, not including the tail). As much as you care for your goldfish, you are, unfortunately, subjecting it to a cruel life and eventual death. A 3 gallon tank is a death chamber for a goldfish. Goldfish need to be in a very large tank or an outdoor pond.

The entire tank is 2.3 gal.It's great divided for small fish. I used mine divided into 3 instead of 5 . i had 2 Betta's and put a dwarf frog in the middle.
