Hi all , just started with the hobby , Bought my first 10 gal tank ( fish included)
and can't help just looking at it. It was stocked from a larger (55gal) with left over fish.
I have :
3 black skirt tetra
2 dwarf gourami
2 goldfish( I think )
1 unknown

Welcome to AA!

We can help you with the ID of those fish if you would like.

The goldfish(if that is what they are) will need a larger tank.

We are all here to help, drop on by the freshwater forums and we will give you a hand with the ID of those fish and anything else you need to know.

Unknown is Australian Rainbow fish

WaterPond · 10-28-2006, 03:20 PM

yeah, they need a bigger tank too

Hi, welcome to the site. The other issue with the gold fish is that their requirements are very much different then the tropical fish you have listed.

I guess they may not be goldies as they can from the same tank , which also had an Oscar , my friend couldn't keep them in the 55 gal because the two Oscars he already had would eat them , so he keep the three Oscars and gifted the reast to me with the small tank he used as a temp while setting up the 55 gal.

many people do keep goldfish with tropical fish, it might not be the right way, but it is common

if it was me i would try to sell the goldfish (if that is what they are) and the rainbow back to a Local Fish Store.

then, if you want help picking out appropriate fish to replace them with we can help...
