For goldfish, the bigger the tank, the better. Despite popular belief, goldfish don’t like fish bowls. These are the best goldfish tanks:
Fluval Premium Aquarium Kit
The Fluval aquarium kit is 45 gallons. It features a low-profile hood with a built-in LED fixture. It also has the Fluval C4 hang-on-the-back power filter and a submersible heater. Goldfish water temperatures are between 62 and 72°F so use the added heater to keep the water temperature stable.
SeaClear Acrylic Aquarium
A single goldfish needs a tank of at least 30 gallons to thrive. This acrylic aquarium features a 24″ light fixture, but you’d have to buy a heater and filter. The SeaClear acrylic aquarium is durable and made of acrylic, which means that it’s super clear.
Tetra 55 Gallon Aquarium Kit
If you have space, the Tetra 55 Gallon Aquarium Kit is a good starter pack for keeping at least three goldfish. It has everything you need to setup:
- EasyBalance Plus regulates pH and alkalinity and reduces nitrates and phosphates.
- TetraMin tropical fakes to feed your fish.
- An AquaSafe 6†fish net.
- 200W heater.
- WPF 60 Filter.
- Stick-on digital thermometer.
- 24†Tetra hinged hood x 2.
- Two plant multipacks and a boxwood plant.
- TetraCare brochure and instruction sheet.
Marina LED Aquarium Kit
This Marina LED Aquarium Kit is a 20-gallon aquarium for goldfish. It has its own LED lights and a clip-on filter. But, you’ll need to invest in a more efficient filter to keep your tank clean and your goldfish healthy.
Aqueon Goldfish Tank
At 10 gallons, the Aqueon glass fish tank provides less space for your goldfish to explore. But, it comes equipped with a filter, heater, and an LED lighting system.
Other accessories include a stick-on thermometer, a fish net, water conditioner, and fish food, everything you need to start your goldfish tank. It’s suitable for a single goldfish if you don’t have space for a 20-30 gallon tank. For more than one, aim for a tank of at least 42 gallons.
