Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / December 2006goldfis in a tropical tank ?
hi there , I have a really vbig tropical tank and a tiny coldwater one so i seemed to make sense to add the two goldfish to the tropical set up Would this cause any serious problems -- p!nkforpresident > hi there , > > I have a really vbig tropical tank and a tiny coldwater one so it > seemed to make sense to add the two goldfish to the tropical set up ! > Would this cause any serious problems ? How big and how small? goldfish need space and are big waster producers, do they can make the water conditions worse for others. They need different food as well. And many tropicals tend to eat their fins... Better not to mix, but then you need to get the goldfish out of a small tank. They need a bigger tank than tropicals... amosf © Tim Fairchild Wrote: > - > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > small > tank. They need a bigger tank than tropicals... thanks for your advice the large tank is around the size of you average coffee table and the golfish are at the moment only one inch They came from a golden carp that bred with a tench so they are ver unusual ! Compleltly gold and absolutely stunning ! I have very few tropical fish in a very large tank (about five) so will look to rehome the tropicals (though i will keep the pleco in wit the goldfish in cold water conditions -- p!nkforpresident Can you send me some pictures of this unusual carp-tench mix? It's a great combination... kpetak@inet.hr > amosf © Tim Fairchild Wrote: >> - [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > will look to rehome the tropicals (though i will keep the pleco in with > the goldfish in cold water conditions) GF are very dirty fish and trops usually cannot stand the levels of nitrate caused by GF. GF eat anything fits in their mouth.
