I am pretty good when it comes to tropicals but I have absolutely NO experience with goldfish. If I were to get goldfish I would go for the fancy varieties cause the commons just get too big for my options. Does anyone have any preferences for any particular fancy variety? If so, why? I have always liked the ryukins, orandas, and black moors. Could you keep all these together?
If I were to setup a tank I would keep it unheated (with heater set aside just in case). It would probably stay around 68 in my house. The substrate would be sand and river rocks. I would want some plants. I know they eat them but was thinking of some thick leaved ones (like large anubias species) and having some anacharis floating on the surface for them to munch on. Any other plants that I could maybe pot and survive with these guys? How about a moss ball or two that they can play with, or eat? Anyone have any luck with any crypts or vals? I figure Vals grow so fast that maybe it's a good thing if the fish trI'm them. Will the unheated tank affect these in any way?
I was thinking of a bottom tankmate as well, with a sand substrate. Only options that I find doable are a dojo loach or a hoplo catfish. Anyone have experience combining these with goldies?
