How many goldfish in a 50 litre tank?

[parkranger405]

Currently I've got an 80 litre tank with, I think, about 50 goldfish too. Is the tank too crowded? I'm just trying to raise them quickly as feeder fish, so they should be fine, right?

That's alot of bioload for a 21G tank...

I've never done anything to do with fish before but goldfish are relatively small and so they seem t fit quite nice and snug.

I would suggest consulting with one of your Game Wardens. They are trained in this and can explain why it’s not a good idea.

Goldfish tend to get quite big over time. They might fit now but they will outgrow their tank if you plan to keep them long. You do say they are just feeder fish so this might not be an issue for you. What do you keep that you need feeder goldfish?

Yes, I was curious too as to what you are feeding.

I have a turtle farm (Pete and Vania) and I like to feed live foods (goldfish are a cheap and available feeder fish).

Minnows are another option too.

 

[parkranger405]

Sorry I'm confused. Do Minnows eat goldfish or are they an alternative I can feed to my turtles?

 

[Falconwithaboxon]

I do believe he meant as an alternative to turtle food instead of goldfish

 

[FishGuest5123]

SHE meant another good feeder fish.

Oops sorry about that

 

[FishGuest5123]

Lol. No problem.

@parkranger405 where are you located? There are several good foods for turtles if in U.S.
