New To The Game

[007iron]

I have been given a aqua start 500 tank and stand (65L ) . Tank came with two fantailed goldfish (think thays what they are called). they have been together for five years now and are about 4" long. The tank is up a running with filters and pumps.
I was wondering if i could add other fish to the tank or will the fish be hostile to new mates.
Any help on type of fish that could be added without upset ,if any.

thanks .

No more fish and you need to upgrade them...At 5 years old they should be double that size

Sorry they are bigger one about 7" and one 6" and you think this tank is to small for them?? . I have no idea about fish keeping just took them in as owner has gone abroad for good.

I agree the fish would be better off in a larger tank, fantails can grow up to 10inches+, a large tank would improve their quality of life a lot. I think the best plan of action would be to buy the 2 goldfish a 30gallon long or larger tank and use the 65litre tank for other much smaller growing types of fish (perhaps go tropical with it) .
If you are completely new to fishkeeping, then the first thing you need to read up on is water quality and how it works in aquariums (so you know how to keep it good);

Do you have any dechlorinator/water conditioner ?
