Tank Mate For Jack Silver

[ScoutCarcer]

My little common goldfish Jack Silver is living in a 2.5 gallon while Im getting a ten gallon ready for him. I know he needs a bigger tank but hes an inch and a half long. Anyway he seems kind of lonely. Could I add a small black moor? If so how big of a tank should I eventually put them in?

the bigger the better but 30 gallons seems about right to me for 2 fish

So do you think a Black Moor will get along with Jack?

It depends, common goldfish are quicker then fancies so a black moore might have trouble competing for food, but as long as each of them get enough food then they will be fine. You'll have to be doing a lot of water changes- atleast 2 25% changes a week, because goldfish are messy, escpecialy when you have 2 in a 10 gallon. I wouldn't keep them in there for more then a year, under 6 months would be better.

I know that they cant stay in the ten for too long. I think Ill get a moor when I almost have enough to buy the 30G.
