Had a few tanks in the past, biggest was an 80 litre octagonal. Tetras and even grew some Angelfish from tiddlers to quite large specimens. Gave up when the tank started leaking even after multiple repair atempts. Sold all the fish and the tank for not much and shifted the little red goldfish that was also in there to the outside pond where I had some Shubunkin. Now the goldfish is about 6" long and about 8 years old and mixes it with the dozen or more Shubunkin that have bred in the pool. Homebuilt recirculating filter system, papyrus reeds, Water buttercup plant and it more or less manages itself. I clean the pump inlet weekly, throw some pellets in for the fish and add a wee bit of antialgae once a month. I summer I run a shade sail over the top ( like a tent) to reduce sunlight and algae problems.
And they all keep breeding and growing. Must be a happy lot.
