It kind of annoys me when people say this. Not everyone can have a
massive swimming pool tank in their house. 35 litres is a fairly big
tank and to have one fish in it would just be sad. I have three little
goldfish in 21 litres of water and they are doing fine. I change a
percentage of the water weekly, vacuum the gravel, use a filter etc and
they seem happy. I wouldnt keep a massvie fish in a there of course but
I'm not about to go buy a swimming pool for one fish...

Sorry to say it like it is, but if you check the net, most recommend 10 gallons
per goldfish. They do grow large and are big polluters.
Would you buy a dog, if you couldn't walk it? Fish need room to swim and
enough water to dilute their wastes and hormones. Smaller tanks mean
more maintenance and more room for error.

Keep an eye on your nitrAte level. Also, if you are changing water more
than once a week, you're reaching a crisis level and may be forced to
separate or move up the tank size. Keep up the gravel cleaning -- that
is a serious source of built-up contaminants that will explode all at
one time. Watch the fish carefully. If they are growing well, eating
well, and the water readings are fine, you can wait.
