For two telescope eye goldfish, you need AT LEAST 20 gallon tank….It sounds weird, because goldfish are commonly (and unfortunately) kept in bowls, but goldfish actually require the MOST room for fish their size….You’re better off getting a heater and getting guppies or platies (they require a LOT less room) then you could get a tank smaller than 20 g…but that tank (the one in the video) is PERFECT for a dwarf gourami or betta…

I don’t know what’s on that link, all I see is you talking about a bowl, 5 gallon tank, and 2 fancy goldfish…
Rule of thumb for goldies, 15 gallons per goldfish. If it’s a common or comet, then a larger tank will be needed down the line for them. For your 2 telescope goldies that you want, I would get at least a 30 gallon tank with a filter for them.

You need AT LEAST 10 gallons per goldfish, don’t buy one if your not prepared to get a bigger tank, most small fish is one gallon per inch of fish but goldfish are gross polluters.

NO! That is not a tank. That is a bowl. Bowls are not suitable for ANY fish.
Fancy goldfish need 20 gallons of water per fish.

NO that is it unless you like dead fish

Both the bowl in the video and a 5-gallon tank are too small for any goldfish.
If you want to keep two goldfish, get at least a 30-gallon tank.
