How deep is the water in the bottom basin? Is the bottom basin deep enough for goldfish?

Don't know if this item would be satisfactory for that, think you might want something larger. I used my rock fountain as an add on to my outside fish pond I actually draw water from the fish pond and it runs over the bottom back into the fish pond. Instead of it being self contained it is now part of the pond the water cascading over each level and back into the pond is awsome

It's about 4-5" deep, but not to wide. I never thought about having goldfish in the fountain basin but it's not a bad idea.

Basin holdsabout 5 gallons of water so small fish should be ok. You'll need filtration and a way to keep the fish from getting trapped by recirculation pump.

Not deep enough for real fish of substantial size or plants. Unless you had it shade the water would get to hot in South for them. Also mine bit the dust after one season.

I just went out and measured mine - mine is not quite full to the brim and measures exactly 1 inch deep in the deepest part of the middle, so maybe 1 and a half inches when full. It's not as deep as it looks, it's a nice shallow bird bathing depth.

Yes it does and our gold fish are fine even with the temp @ -18 here in Wisconsin( we have a 55 gal 2 level pond)

There is a bottom - the side holes are for watering. I think the bottom holds about a gallon of water. The roots hang down into the water.

I think it's going to be solid, but not so gentle. I use it for my 20 gallon. I have it place near the top and aiming at the side glass, but i still can see fish at the bottom sways by the flow.

Ours is very full this morning due to rain last night, maybe 1/4 inch from overflowing. The water measures 1.5 " right now. We agree with Ed that this unit works well, and has never frozen. It is plenty deep for the backyard birds to bathe and they share it nicely. I also find it easy to keep clean with a little elbow grease.

10 gal is already too small for the fish you have, since goldfish are extremely messy.

The basin is about 18" wide and 4" deep at it's lowest point. It holds a little better then a gallon of water. The bird bath put together stands 2' tall. It is a very nice piece.

it is as shallow as you want it to be if you don't fill it full. the tubing outside is about 6-8" tall so if you filled it all the way the main pool would be that deep. the wading pool has a drain at about 4" so it doesn't get real deep.

Yes. It has to be open at the bottom for the water to fill the bathtub. However, the whale comes down below the faucet about a half inch to an inch. That extra coverage means the metal of the faucet is covered. It has saved us from hitting the bottom twice.

No, you absolutely cannot. Goldfish need a much, MUCH larger tank than this. The reason people think goldfish have such a short lifespan is because they're usually kept in aquariums that are too small or even in unfiltered bowls. Only somebody who truly does not care about animals would put a goldfish in one of these - let alone 3 like somebody else suggested.

I don't know. I would say they would have to be the larger goldfish; A 3 inch goldfish may not be able to handle the size of the fish food I give my koi.

Yes. It works great for gold fish. But the rule still holds. One inch of fish per gallon of tank.

It depends on the side and type. They say you need one gallon of water per inch of fish. Goldfish are adaptable in growth to the tank size however it is not always healthy. If you talk to people at your local pet store or wherever they can better answer this question. Some stores will only allow to have so many fish as well. I would say at most 5.

Filter is so good, I wouldn't worry. Maybe 100 for future change to larger tank. Gold fish don't have stomachs, I've been told, so I have lots of nye grass and othet consumable plants. Thus I feed my gold fish about once a week. Huge, 30 gal tank, cheep filter , but secrete is lots of plants.

I have one beta fish, and rocks at the bottom of the aquarium. I tend to clean the bowl weekly as it gets a bit cloudy. But that said, I also tend to overfeed my fish a bit :)

Yes. I have been using it for a goldfish ,, I am using a 10 gallon filter , the filter that came with the tank stopped working after about a week.
