its way overcrowded i would put the koi in the pond. and u need 70 gallons for just thoses 7 goldfish. also what type are those goldfish?

Also can u get a pic of the 10 gallon?
froggydella
Eeeek!

To simply answer your question, Yes. It is far to small. Actually I can't even picture how that many fish would even fit into a 10gal tank? unsure.gif Doesn't seem possible to me.

Yes, Get a bigger tank if you can. They will not live long in there at this rate. sad.gif

3orandas,2black moor n 2....im not so sure its funny looking like triangular shape from birds view
FishCrazy
yeah u need a 70 gallon for those fish

It's really way over crowded. At the most, you're probably only going to be able to keep one of the goldfish.

Is it possible that you can still return the fish for a refund? They're better off somewhere that has enough space and can keep their water parameters in check.

i'll buy a new aquarium this sunday defenitely...

You need more than a 70 gallon, koi need over 300 gallons PER FISH. The goldfish need at least 10 a piece. MY advice you be to give all of them except one goldie OR the guppies back to the fish store. And your pond is too small to, certainly not big enough for 14 koi, you would need like a 5000 gallon pond for those koi alone but with the catfish and turtle. Jeez, I didn't think such horrible over stocking was possible krazy.gif

Right now I would concentrate on getting those GF in the 10 taken care of ASAP.

Why can't you post a pic of this tank??
=+fIsHlOvErS=+
i dont know how...
froggydella
Well, We could certaintly explain how to post pic's on here. It's simple.

To be honest with you right now, I would really be thinking of a alternative for those GF right now! If I was you I would get off here and figure out a way to either keep them, Or give them back to the Petstore..It's all a bit odd to me.
=+fIsHlOvErS=+
i think i ask my friend to keep them 4 awhile,he like to breed koi n sell them...he have plenty of empty tank,wait i have like another 4 10g basin,but i dont the air bubbles n filters for the moment...
=+fIsHlOvErS=+
maybe its a faintail
froggydella
Again, Sorry but your posts are lacking detail. Maybe what is a fantail??

Have you done anything about the fish yet??
FishCrazy
lets see pics
=+fIsHlOvErS=+
ya,n my friend lend me a 110-120tank so im not that worried anymore...anyway,it look like faintails but it has a hump
tropicana
it's really like putting all those fish in a cup, you really need a bigger tank
glitterfish
If the fish have a hump on the back theyre probably ryukins.

I would give the koi away to someone with a BIG pond and figure out what to do with the others QUICKLY.
