Adding goldfish to my tank???

[Fishkidd]

I was just wondering if it would be okay if I added my four feeder goldfish to my community tank of 7 neon tetras 4 black mollies 5 tiger barbs. The reason I would like to do this it I have the four feeder gold fish in a 2 gallon tank and they seem crammed. The gold fish are bigger then my tiger barbs so I dont think they will nip there fins and I really dont think the gold fish will harm my other fish in any way. Please feel free to voice your opition on this topic.
thanks ERIC

Hi fishkid
what do you mean feeder goldfish?
are they goldfish you intend to feed to other fish?
What is the temerature of the tank that you wish to move them to?
How long will they be in there?

I would be a little worried about putting them in with the neons. The thing about most fish is, if something end up in their mouth ... they don't always spit it out again!

I put a mosquito fish in with my goldfish and it was yaye long __________...The goldfish had a nice snack.

I don't think anyone should mix goldies with tropicals,but people do and it works well if they keep it clean. Goldfish poop like cattle.

Thanks for all you comments i think i will just get a bigger tank for my gold fish. By feeder gold fish i ment the ones you buy to feed to other fish but i like them as pets and know other fish can eat them. Thanks for imput keep it coming

Ok then.

goldfish need 20 gals for the first fish an 10 gals for each additional fish
please see this topic

so for the four goldfish you have you will need a tank of 50 gallons or more.

NO

dont put them with neon tetras they will eat them 4 lunch
trust me personal experience...

when i got my tetras i asked my local fish shop where i got the tetras from if i can keep tetras with gold fishes the lady who was working there told me yeah they will be fine so i
brought them home put them in the tank 4 45 mins before releasing them in the tank and then there was a massacre out of 10 tetras only 6 tetras survived…
Went back to the shop and gunned the lady who sold me the fishes I told her that u told me that tetras can stay with goldfishes so y did the goldfishes killed the tetras she told me that she never say that and I am a liar, the owner of the shop came and asked me what’s going on I told him what happened and he sacked the lady(she was about 20 years old and I was the third costumer complaining against her. ) and the owner gave me 5 free tetras to cover my loss…
