Ihave the same exact breed fish of that one with many colors I just have it with tetras but what breed is it?

Goldfish are not aggressive fish! I've kept gold fish for years and in tropical tanks with smaller fish such as cories and tetras and even with larger fish such as plecos and they do fine but they do make a lot of mess and can end up killing your fish if if your not cleaning your tank properly. So-called "Professionals" will get paid to say that shit "you can't put that in there" it pisses me off every time I go to a pet store.

I think this guy is forgetting that goldfish come from warmer water , they have just managed to cope with colder water because there hardy

What about one goldfish in a 50 L tank with, 20 c temp and constant ph reading of 7.2. Would that be okay?

Lolz 73839 - 7 years ago

Golfish are coldwater fish so they won't go in a tropical tank it's the wrong temperature

I have a 75 gallon tank with 21 freshwater Topical fish and 5 goldfish. They have been cohabiting for 6 months and are very healthy. I did have to follow some rules when bring them home before placing in tank. I leave the Goldfish in the purchase bag for 25mins. So they can adjust to the water temperature which is usually 76-78 degrees. When they are ready to go in the tank I put some water from the aquarium in a bucket. I pour 1/2 of the store water from the bag in a bowl and the remaining goes merge in the bucket with the Goldfish to be release . They remain in the bucket for 2 mins to adapt to the aquarium water. then in they go! :) they are happy:) 2Min later I pour a 1/4 cut of Aquarium salt to add essential electrolytes for the new members. Last 5min. later I feed them some blood worms (freeze dried food come in a can) and Trtracolor tropical flakes as a welcome to the family. I just added five more since Oct 23,15 at $17. cents beautiful color Goldfish. So far all are well and alive. Oh They are very smart and will come up to the corner of the tank in a group when feeding time is near. I have also an1 1/2 angle fish, 4 molly 4 sliver sharks** Remember to Make sure the Goldfish are the same size as your other fish*

Vignesh - 6 years ago

Skyrider1107 what food do you feed them, can I feed only tropical food for all of them??

Kyle Harris - 8 years ago

Rant much? Although some valid points, you're forgetting how hardy goldfish actually are and like most things it all depends on circumstance, I currently have 5 baby comet goldfish, 6 tiger barbs, 3 angels and 2 spotted doras, in a 100 litre tank, I like to keep baby goldfish in a heated tank for first 3-6 months simply to help with growth before i move them to a cold water indoor pond with full grown goldfish

how about plecos and african dwarf frogs with goldfish?

ReviewCam - 8 years ago

Probably the best fish to keep with goldfish are other goldfish, or perhaps white cloud mountain minnows which are extremely hardy fish. They're cold water like goldfish.

stopfollowingme - 8 years ago

theyre tropical ugh

+escoville Ink ADFs are essentially tropical

Shelly - 8 years ago

I just want to say this... My mother has a 50 gallon tank she has had gold fish with tropical fish before and we had the goldfish first for about 10 years then we got tropical fish she had the goldfish another 10 before one died from a stroke the other died the next day from a broken heart. She still has the tropical fish. All I'm saying it can be done they just need more maintaining. If it's your first tank I would say don't do it. I have kept fish of both kind on my own but not in the same tank because I wouldn't know what to do. Not trying to be rude or anything.

Francisco Penado - 8 years ago

+Jose Duran I'm sure you realize that goldfish average lifespan is actually 30 years. If it lived for 3 years, you basically reduced its lifespan by 27 years or 90% of its average lifespan.

Jose Duran - 8 years ago

I also have my goldfish with tropical and there fine for 3 years

Chris - 8 years ago

to the idiots in the comment section, yes the fish may survive. but by putting the goldfish in the tropical tank, you are putting the lives of both fish in jeopardy. Even if you do survive you, the fish won't be happy and their lifespan is shortened. By the way, you can't just look at a fish a determine if its happy.

Shane de Munter - 8 years ago

i have 2 goldfish with 5 angelfish and 6 corydoras in my tank and since my goldfish moved from a bowl into the 25 degrees celcius tank they started being really active and so on. they do so great and they live happily with the angelfish. sometimes they act like corydoras. so there is no reason why they wouldnt be tankmates

Andy thegamer - 8 years ago

U can put goldfish in a tropical tank , and no they don't eat small fish and snails I have both so ye learn your stuff .

Roger Etienne Dela Cruz - 8 years ago

With regard to temperature, the goldfish can acclimatize to tropical temperatures. In the tropics where I stay, the indoor temperature can range from 78-82F. I keep my 4 shubunkins with rosy and cherry barbs, sparkling gouramis and otos.

However, I have a jungle of plants in my tank with a lot of 2 forms of filtration as you said it, goldfish poop and create a lot of nitrogenous wastes.

In my tank, I only have anacharis, tiger lotus, foxtails, anubias and Java ferns that are tough and fast-growing.

Other ornamental goldfish do not mix with most tropicals because they are slow moving and their flowing fins. Comets and shubunkins are able to stand on their own with certains barbs (cherry barbs) and probably not with tetras and cichlids (maybe angels).

Emma Martinez - 9 years ago

I keep goldfish and tropicals together. You have to really think about tank mates and have a very good filtration system. Goldfish in the wild will experience warmer weather just like tropical fish will experience colder weather. You have to make sure your tempter is not to high, so they will be some you can not put in with goldfish. As for they will never meet in the wild so will some tropicals never meet each other in the wild.

Having said all this i think before you put goldfish and tropicals together do your research.

Faizul Izwan - 8 years ago

+Emma Martinez I agree with you, I actually put them together and nothing bad happen to both..they looks healthy and friendly..hehe

Brianna Harter - 9 years ago

I kinda of have an emergency reason for putting goldfish and rosy reds cause some poisons got in my pond.so I kinda of had to put them in with my tropicals while it gets cleaned up.

can I keep them in there for a week while it gets fully scrubbed down?

Plague Gaming - 8 years ago

+Brianna Harter possibly, but keep a close eye on them. If they seem less active or not eating, take them out immediately and move them to a bucket or something with cold water.

KaptainKpop - 9 years ago

Goldfish can live with dojo loaches and plecos because dojos are subtropical and plecos can resist

kellskells - 9 years ago

Why do you have heater ?

Goldfisher - 9 years ago

I have a 240 gallon tank with goldfish (comets) and tropical fish (oscar and marble catfish) and they've been happily co-existing for years, there is no reason that you can't keep goldfish with tropical fish.

Jeroen - 9 years ago

You are talking about not putting goldfish with tropical fish. But instead you dont have any gravel on the floor in your tank?? Thats the number one reason you dont understand goldfish. They need gravel!

Research some more.

Tom Carter - 9 years ago

You people keeping COLDWATER fish with TROPICAL fish obviously can't care less about either of there basic care needs for a start. It even hints the differences between them in those 2 categories.

So please stop saying how you HAD some goldfish with gourami or platy etc Because they wouldn't have been happy.There body would have adapted to their environment but they wouldn't have been happy with it. Also keep in mind goldfish can live for. 30 + years and if you only had yours for 0-5 years... Well therefore they obviously weren't okay. More than half of you guys probably keep yours in a tank under 20 gals which will stunt there growth if kept in the small tank for life and it will just be such an uncomfortable living space especially how fancy goldfish get up to 6-8" as explained in video and single tailed goldfish can grow to 45 cm! Whilst also produce alot of ammonia it would be like living in just a bedroom with having poop everywhere. Disgusting.

So please. Stop harming these amazing animals!

I've had goldfish tanks with goldfish in 76 degree water with tropical for 2 yrs

Random Roger - 9 years ago

Robbie - 10 years ago

Having Goldfish in a Tropical Fish tank is a bad idea as it will make the Goldfish grow faster and die faster.. That's why they are in cold water at all times to slow down there growing. One more thing why never do it. Gold fish are messy fish and Tropical Fish needs clean tanks. Having Gold fish in a Tropical Fish Tank will make very bad problems in your water for the Tropical Fish.

UnseenSpirit - 10 years ago

Nice tank, it's shocking how many put both together, but they nosy the 10 years of more that they should

Jessica's Nerd Life - 10 years ago

yep, cause in the wild they are together right...

keeping goldfish and tropicals together i think is fine i dont think there is anything wrong with it
