we have a gold fish and we're transferring it to a plastic aquarium that was originally a hamster tank/aquarium. Will the the fish be ok? Does the plastic harm it?
yeah it's fine the only down side to plastic/acrylic tanks is the potential for it to get scratched
The plastic will not harm your fish however, the lack of space will. Goldfish are very dirty fish and need 2 gals of water per inch of fish. Sence goldfish get 10~12 inches fairly quickly they will not live long in a little hamster cage. They need at least 20~25 gals of water for each fish to be the most healthy and live the 20 to 30 year life span that can be expected of a well cared for golfish. good luck :~)
You need to wash it Very well first and put some chlorout in it and it should be fine
If it was made for housing animals it is safe.
