FWIW, I have a small twin-tail goldfish named Chester, about 2 inches long.
A few months ago, out of curiosity, I did a few experiments and found that
Chester's minimum tank size for maintaining stable water quality (assuming
decent filtration) was 20 gallons. That's right - 10 gallons per inch of
goldfish! This is at 72 degrees with small feedings 2x daily.
On the other end of the scale, after 12 hours in a 3-gallon desktop with
active filter, Chester's water maxed out the tests for ammonia, nitrate, and
nitrite. Go, Chester, go!

P.S. I made it to Atlanta! Will be posting details to my fisherking.org
website tomorrow.
