Afrikan Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Maybe not what most would keep together, however the fish look in excellent condition, inclusive of the goldfish. Not what I would keep together but if it has worked for him then good on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I know fancy goldies prefer slightly higher temps but oscars and so on prefer around the 26-27 mark which im sure those ones wouldnt be too happy about? i wonder what temp hes keeping them at. Bet the goldfish would grow quick and die quick (whole metabolism thing). Not something i would do personally owning both goldfish and oscars *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarimochi Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I get so many people asking me how many electric yellows they can put with their comets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I think the fish look good and its cool just because its different and not what people have done from day one doesn't mean it wont work.. 20 years ago if you had told anyone keeping fish that noone would be using undergravel filters in 20years they wouldn't believe you..

Loopy Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 We had our last goldfish in our 6ft tank with our oscars and silver dollars and severum a couple of years ago. Didn't want to put him in any of our other tanks at the time as he usually took a bite out of eveything else and couldn't start a new tank for him so in he went. Everyone lived quite happily together, goldfish learnt pretty quickly who to stay away from and the dopey oscar was so slow he had enough trouble catching food held in front of his face let alone chasing a fish. Goldfish eventually got sold to someone who really wanted him to add to their breeding stock! Since i have seen that these fish can live together quite well and providing they have the space i think it is probably quite a cool and good looking tank!
