can you use this tank for goldfish?

A goldfish should be fine, as long as it's not a real big goldfish....it's a really nice little tank.

This tank is not well suited for goldfish. While young goldfish are small and you might think they can live in a tank of this size, however this really isn't a good idea. Goldfish are pretty dirty fish, meaning they produce more potent waste than other fish. So despite the fact that they will easily out grow this aquarium, as it is a larger tank is required to deal with their waste.

sure. It would be better than just a goldfish bowl because of the filtration system. Goldfish are a bit dirtier than bettas or other fish. wouldn't have to clean the tank so often.

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 think you could, but goldfish produce a lot of wastes so just only for small ones (maybe 2-3 of them are Max) work I believe .

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.

This tank is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater as far as I know. I got mine from a friend and he had a small nano reef in it for over 3 years without any problems. I have a freshwater aquascape and a Betta male in it and it's fine as well.

Probably not. This tank really is barely big enough for 1 beta fish. A couple of glofish is about capacity, despite what the Glofish company puts on the box.

You can actually place this filter completely under water. Without knowing what type of tank (bowl vs. rectangle) I would suggest putting this almost on the bottom of your tank and direct the flow somewhat against the glass to cause a current. If placed correctly the waste should make its way toward the filter.If none of that answered your question, I apologize, I have not kept goldfish since I was in elementary school.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that your bowl is already very overstocked. Goldfish actually grow very large and can live up to 30 years! They also create a lot of waste, so anything 2 1/2 gallons large is just not going to cut it. If it is a fancy goldfish, it will need around 30-40 gallons just on its own, and if it's a common goldfish (has a single-finned tail), it will probably be better suited for a fish pond. That being said, I think that cherry shrimp by themselves would do alright in a 2 1/2 gallon container if you do regular 20-30% water changes. But I don't suggest anything else with the goldfish.

Yes depending on the use. For a full ten gallon tank with fish no problem, but if you use it for a turtle tank not completely full it would be too powerful.

Yes, you can use this products with fish. This product will not hurt the fish. It is not intended for plant-only tanks.

It's a really nice little tank. Any fish will do great but it is very small. I think if you did somethinglike a neon or molly you could have up to 4 or 5.

I don't think that you can. I am using it in a 75 gallon tank with a fluval fx5 filter. It is not performing like I had hoped. By the way, it has a very funky smell (new out of the container too).

Depending on the size of the tank I I would say yes if its larger then a 50 gallon. If 50 50 gallon or smaller just put it in the middle.

This tank is made for any fish, in my case I use for a Betta is perfect. It is entirely ornamental. Advantage is acrylic and disadvantage can be easily scratched.

Yes, it works quite well. Make sure you get the right size for your fish tank.

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

No, not this model. But there are other smaller versions designed for a acrylic fish tank. Make sure you get the one made for acrylic and rated for your size tank or you will have a very badly scratched tank.

You can use anything with a filter for goldfish so it should be fine. Just change half the water about once every 2 weeks.

Definitely not! It is for decoration only as it has no filtration system. The faux jellyfish are somewhat fragile and move about in a 2.5" depth tank. Also a few drops of dish detergent is added to the water to make their movement more fluid. Any type of fish will have different water requirements in order to sustain a healthy environment.
