Can Goldfish

[harryman]

my friend has a 10 litre tank and it contains 1 dalmation molly, 2 goldfish, 1 shubunkin, tuxedo platty and a red finned black shark they all seem ok and happy is this safe and ok.

please reply

coldwater fish dont mix with trops and your friend really exactly shouldn't have the shubunkin in there

 

[harryman]

why shouldnt a shubunkin be in there it is a gold fish isnt it

2 gal tank, it shouldn't have a lone molly in there never mind the rest, a goldfish needs a least a 20gal for the first fish, then 10gal for every other fish added, as they are big waste producers, good god the shark poor thing need a 40gal tank, and they are aggressive, i would tell your friend to return all the fish to the lfs, as all that tank is good for is a betta.

il tell him that but he is getting a new tank any way so he is just keeping these for future use

well tell him he is gonna need a huge tank for the shark, at least 30gallons for the goldfish and at least 20 gallons brackish tank for the molly and other mollies to keep it company.
