ghostface Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 hey freshies. due to his tank being converted to marine, i am looking to put a synodonotus[sp] catfish in a tank with goldfish. the tank is a reasonable size, has good water parameters, and does not drop below 24 deg. can anyone give me a good reason that i should not put the catfish in this tank? [the missus wont let me get rid of it, so this is the only option i have, apart from having a complete tank setup for 1 fish] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey-tropical-fish-mad Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Im not sure however i did read somwhere that when keeping marine fish, due to them being so much more delicate than tropicals, its best to have them in a brand new tank altogether. I know this because i was planning on keeping marines before i got my tropicals. I am stil hopfully getting tropicals in may! anyway good luck what ever you decide. But i would also like to add marine fish cannot be added until the nitrite cycle has finished. a good nitrite tolerant marine fish is the clown fish! There rather pritty too But i definatly recommend you get a brand new tank for your marines because of how much more sensitive they are. When i first concidered marines i asked the man in the shop about tank, and he adviced me to get a new tank, so im forwarding the advice to you good luck whatever you decide.

Caryl Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Synodontis cope in African tanks against those cichlids so I am sure goldfish would be a breeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
