I got my goldfish on March 11 and the 13 and I would say that 95 percent of them have not grown a bit! If they are not going to grow I will feed them the my baby blue cats and put mullet in there or am just being impatient, what might be wrong?

Prolly size of the tank. Bigger tank=bigger goldfish. Also keep in mind size of the tank and the amount of fish in it.

I have 2 goldies in my aquarium. I have had them for a few years. The oldest is about 6" long and thick. He is a standard goldfish. The other is a fantail and it is about 4" long. I feed them goldfish flakes about 3-4 times a day. Mine arent going into any fishes bellies either.

Goldfish are coldwater fish and naturally grow slowly. Bigger tank would help only slightly I would recommend you buy the size you need and not try to grow them out.

Are we having fun yet? Caney You rock. Keep trying, keep experimenting. They will grow...give them time. Learn it the old fashion way, by trying somthing new and failing and then trying to do it again.
