Default goldfis in a tropical tank ?
Can you send me some pictures of this unusual carp-tench mix? It's a great
combination...

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...

thanks for your advice the large tank is around the size of your
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 very
unusual ! Compleltly gold and absolutely stunning !

I have very few tropical fish in a very large tank (about five) so i
will look to rehome the tropicals (though i will keep the pleco in with
the goldfish in cold water conditions)
