Mixing goldfish with other tropical fish
is not really recommended. Goldfish first of all are coldwater
fish while tropical fish prefer warmer water. Another thing with
tropical fish a lot of them are territorial and they
might attack and injure your goldfish. It is in your best
interest to keep goldfish separate from tropical fish. It will
prevent damaged fins from occurring, injuries as well as
diseases that tropical fish may carry.
When it comes to temperature, goldfish
like cooler water and they are much happier and healthy. If you
do add a heater due to having tropical fish and then add
goldfish to your aquarium it will cause them stress. Goldfish
prefer colder water and signs of stress may occur. If people do
want two types of fish, coldwater, and tropical you should have
two aquariums set up. You will enjoy it more and have more
freedom and better luck when adding new fish to your aquarium. A
key point to remember is goldfish are coldwater fish and
tropical fish are tropical. The proper environment should be
given to both based on their backgrounds and preferences. In
doing so you will have great success with both goldfish
and other tropical fish you may have.
