My son has a 10 gallon tank with a globe eye goldfish... We were told when we first got the tank that a 10 gallon could house 2 goldfish. I believe he would prolly be best to keep just 1 in there because we have tryed to add 2 tankmates over the past 3 months(not at the same time, one died then we replaced) and both died within a matter of 2 weeks.
Algae is starting to form on the glass and on the objects in the tank and I have read about bristlenose plecos being good for keeping a tank clean and compatible with goldfish. Would this be too much for this small 10 gallon tank? Also anyone know why the tankmates die while the goldfish keeps kickin no problem? Water changes are being done regularly and the water isn't getting excessively dirty considering its a goldfish that likes to poop a lot.
