Goldfish and white clouds - Aquarium Advice

Newbneedshelp · 10-21-2004, 05:23 PM

my friend has gold fish in a 5 [acronym:75324acda2="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:75324acda2] hex (i think 5 [acronym:75324acda2="Gallon"]gal[/acronym:75324acda2]) and he has been wanting some new fish. He doesnt have a heater and i was wondering if he could keep white cloud minnows with his goldfish?

I wouldn't keep Goldfish in a 5 gallon, let alone add in more fish.

Yes, white clouds would live quite well with goldies.

i would say that they'd be okay as long as the goldy is small because goldies will eat anything that fits in their mouth

That is absolutely right, bluefire, goldfish will eat other fish for sure.

I agree no goldfish belongs in a 5gal, and "technically" white clouds can live with them in terms of temperature requirements, but I would not add to the bioload at all.
