Goldfish Vs Tropical

I'm setting up a tropical aquarium with a standard pH of 7 and temp of 25 Celcius, thinking of deploying some guppies, mollies, zebra danios in my 96 ltr tank, but I just love those pearl scale gold fishes too, would it be ok to have these goldfishes with my tropical fishes?

Re: Goldfish Vs Tropical

No it's not since goldfish are coldwater and like cooler temperatures then the other fish since they are tropical and mollies really aren't freshwater fish but rather brackish fish so they should'nt be kept with the other fish either. Also guppies breed like crazy so unless you plan on housing the fry you will be killing a lot to keep your tank under control or you can put fish in there that will eat them.

Re: Goldfish Vs Tropical

Austin is right. I don't think your goldies would do well in the warmer water. Plus with that size tank you could only have 2 goldfish max in that tank (really only one) because of the waste they produce. A tank with just tropical fish could have a lot more fish in it.
