Tank Mates For Goldfish

[orientalmexican]

I have 5 goldfish and I was interested in getting some tank mates for them. I used to have a rubber lip pleco but I woke up one morning and it had died the night before I have 2 veiltails, 1 black moor, 1 common, and 1 fantail. The biggest one is about 3.5 inches(9 cm). I heard that tetras nip fins but I have also heard that they don't. Since I have long finned fish I was wondering if this would or not be a good idea. I also need expertise on otos. I was interested in adding a couple to my tank. My tank size is 29 gallons. It has a 50 gallon filter and 4 air stones. I am planning on upgrading to a 55 in the next couple of months. Do you suggest other fish? I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Tetras are tropical fish and need much warmer temperture than coldwater goldfish so you can't keep them together. Don't know about ottos but a weatherloach can live with goldfish in a coldwater tank

Wait for the tank upgrade then get back to us and we can help, at the moment you are overstocked so keep looking and saving for that 55 gallon.
