Panchax attack Black Telescope

Hello, my friend Justice texted me this morning concerning his 10 Gallon. He has 2 golden Panchax in there, 1 Black telescope, and a golden dojo Loach. He said that his Panchax and the Telescope were doing good together yesterday, when he woke up he saw that they were attacking him. His Goldfish is now damaged, I haven't seen a picture, he will send one to me soon. I just am letting everyone know about the situation, for anyone's input. Also I know that a 10 Gallon is too small. For any of these fish, I told him he needs to buy a 55 gallon for these fish, especially the Goldfish. He agreed to. So soon he will buy a 55. He has a 5.5 hospital Tank, that's where the little guy is at the moment.

 

I would give the fish a good feed, they may be less aggressive if they are full.

 

Oh ok. Good idea, I'll let him know. Redshark1

 

I'd rehome the panchax - they're not compatible with goldfish, even in the larger tank.

 

TexasDomer ok, I will let My friend know. Thank You.

 

I'd rehome the telescope actually. The two panchax can fit in a 10 gallon. But 1 fancy variety goldfish needs 20 gallons by itself plus 10 gallons for each additional goldfish.

OP, which species are you talking about? I'm thinking of the striped panchax, which gets around 4 inches and isn't appropriate for a 10 gal.

 

Yea TexasDomer

 

Yea @TexasDomer

Yes, I'd ask him to rehome them. They won't work in the 55 gal with the goldfish.

 

Ok Thank You TexasDomer

Oh I see. I was thinking panchax gardneri.
