[fishman1234]

[15Sulcata]

Just one?

Or two though cuz the fish will produce to much crap for ur filter so one or two dwarf gourami or one fancy goldfish

 

[fishman1234]

Goldfish?

 

[15Sulcata]

Goldfish?

Wat do u mean goldfish?

 

[fishman1234]

I thought they were coldwater

 

[15Sulcata]

I thought they were coldwater

Know they're fine with fish as long the temp is 76-80 degrees farenheit and the fat ones not the long ones

I started my tank on April 2nd with one male swortail and two females. I now have one male, two females, and at least 10 babies 1/2 inch long with both females getting large again.

 

[fishman1234]

Is 26 degrees ok?

 

[15Sulcata]

Yah that's perfect

Yah that's perfect

I was advised against keeping goldfish in community tanks. They produce ALOT OF WASTE PLUS CAN GET HUGE! I was also advised that they should only be kept in Coldwater ie. Pond, or larger well filtered tank w/o heat ~ 125 Gallons!!!

I'm sorry my mistake they need at lest 75 degrees farenheit but go with the gourami

No goldfish. Too much crap comes out of them for that stocking. You need to pick. Black skirts or gourami... Not both.

You've been giving not so great advice so far on this thread. Goldfish shouldn't go with tropical fish. Black and white skirt tetras shouldn't go together and typically don't school. Black tetras are also not really community fish. They're best for species only tanks. They are also very big compared to neons. They produce a lot of waste.

We all start off new at one point, I did too

Yah I do admit about the goldfish that was a mistake and the skirts are peaceful and great community fish and SCHOOL here's a link for proof that will conjugate ur statement http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=830+890+1563&pcatid=1563
And they do great as well with white skirts and I was telling him the usual purchase size I aware they get about 2.5" and that's enough there enormous like other fish and to reach that size takes time like 1-2 years so thanks for ur comments 

I disagree. While black skirts can be nippy, it's usually only towards their own species, and is in my case more of a game of chase. I have 3 in a ten gallon (temporary) with a male betta, and they never nip him, and hardly ever nip each other. Lots of others have had wonderful experience with them (ask mdfrookie, and Chris182) and I have as well. I believe that with the appropriate size tank, and research prior to purchase, they make great community fish. Sorry... Just had to get that out there.

I guess a lot of people disagree. I personally have had them harass other fish. Perhaps it's just me!
