    what are you planning to keep in that tank its tiny it no more than a bowl
    nothing will live happily in there

    I don’t appreciate you giving me a thumbs down i am an experienced angel fish breeder and you cant keep 4 gold fish in that tank you cant keep 1
    each goldfish needs a minimum of 20 gallons with proper filtration
    they are high ammonia producers and if not kept in a tank suitable for there size then they are likely to get fungal problems ammonia poisoning and the die
    I wish people would research before buying there tanks and not coming on here all high and mighty

    Even though it does state 4 goldfish, that is nowhere near enough room for 4. Goldfish need atleast 20 litres each.
