Hello all, my poor common goldfish- pumpkin- has lived a rather dismal life so far in a tiny 19litre tank. its my fishes 1st birthday, so as a present i have bought him a 3ft 130litre tank.
am currently setting it up for a fishless cycle and rinsing out gravel etc- always the most frustrating part of fish keeping.
my question is this - pumpkin would really like a girlfriend (not planning on breeding!), Is there room for 1 or 2 more goldfish in my tank? I'm not opposed to upgrading again in a few years time, how many years would it take for the fish to get too big for this one if I did go for 2 more?
Also, i know i need to leave the bag of new fish in the water for 30 mins etc - but should I know anything else about fish introductions? Is there likely to be any hostility?
Thank you
