Is it ok to keep hold of 2 small fantail goldfish within an 14 litre container?

The guy in the pet shop said i could hold on to 1 goldfish per 5 litres...but other places on the net have said that its 10 GALLONS per goldfish...
Will boris and ted live?!?!?!
I have a box filter that sticks to the backbone of the tank and is powered by an nouns pump and a live plant on a log.


Answers:    Hi Dotty, It's hard to believe for newcomer but fishkeeping is almost unique among hobbies within that store staff know nothing just about it, or even worse will tell you a pack of lies to extract money from your wallet beside scant regard to the welfare of the poor fish.

the other replies in connection with 20 gallon tanks are fairly correct-the link below is a great resource & tell you loads about setting up & maintain a tank for bullish & healthy Goldfish.
It's markedly ten gallons per goldfish. The goldfish you see at pet stores are not full grown--some will grow over a foot long. Your tiny goldfish won't stay tiny for long! Goldfish are also very dirty and produce plentifully of ammonia, so they need bigger tank. Otherwise, the toxic ammonia could build up quickly and waste them.

The filter and plant will help, but if you want your two goldfish to be content and healthy, you entail to get them a 20 gallon container with lots of filtration. Common and comet goldfish would have need of an even larger tank, but fancy should be okay in a 20 as long as it's kept completely clean.
economically if i were you i would verbs about the size of the two fish and the size of the cistern too. what i think around the 14 liter tank is that you might want to receive a bigger size because the fish might grow and you don't have to verbs that the fish might grow and the tank might not be satisfactory space for the fish to swim around.
