Fresh and Tropical Fish in Same Tank

I thought I'd upload this vid as I didn't think you could do this with fish. We have a tank which has rescued British Course fish, 2 Roach and 1 Perch. The Perch is called Desperate Dave and was very sick with a bacterial infection (turned black with green eyes and barely moved), but by some miricle got better and has started eating and being active again.(think he maybe slighty blind now, keeps bumping into things and has green tint to eyes still) The new fish the Guppies were rescued from my mum's tank in which the heater had broken ages ago but the fish still survived (surprizing for tropical fish). She wanted rid of them so we offered to take them. And look now! Tropical fish and course fish thriving and breeding in the same tank. P.S We also have a crayfish in there called Mrs Pinchy (she eats the left overs)

Update: Gready and Leslie (the Roach) are doing great and have grown loads. Mrs Pinchy and the Guppy mumma are also great. I'm now in the process of buying a 5 foot tank as they have out grown their current 80ltr tank.

Lastly they will bring in infection and parasites into the tank with them, unfortunatly my roach died of an internal bacteria infection. I treated them after a few roach died but was too late with the course of treament, and was only able to save desparate dave (the roach), who died 1-2 months later :(

As long as u have a huge tank as these guys produce alot of waste (producing high nitrite readings so frequent water changes are essential), also as I feed them on 4-6 frozen bloodworm cubes a day (rather expensive, but they love it) they have high protein diet so once the filter bacteria has done it's job i get high nitrates as well.

thankyou, I must put up more vids, got feeding bag for them the now. Unfortunatly it's illegal to take fish from the wild basicaly it's poaching as i've now found out.(also illegal to put them back again).Mine are rescued fish from a screwed pond.
