This looks like a predominantly goldfish tank correct? I noticed you have an albino rainbow shark, I know you don't want to hear this but it's not compatible. They are tropical fish whereas goldfish are not. You need to remove the shark and if your tank is heated it should not be higher than 72 degrees. 68-72 is optimal

What you have determined as "fine" and what is properly ideal are two different things. I was providing advice for the sake of your fish, if you choose to ignore it that's up to you but I'm 100% positive every seasoned member on here will agree with me about your stock.

Don't just disregard the advice given to you because you don't like it, you clearly don't have the experience that others do given your mix match tank. Waiting for a fish to die before doing anything is obviously too late anybody can see that.
People here don't care about you or your feelings just what's best for your fish.
Listen to them and your fish will be all the better for it.

End of the day cold water fish belong in cold water and tropical fish belong in warm any one who is knowledgable of fish knows this yes goldfish can survive but weather or not its there ideal living conditions is a different story and most people will tell u that

 

[Jmunroe]

They may be fine now but what will happen is either the cold water species or the tropical species will suffer and die early. My guess is the goldfish will die in a few years and you will still think it was a success because they all lived a few years together. When actually the goldfish shoulda lived for 20 years. There is less than optimal conditions for your fish in your tank... That is FACT

Like i sed il let u no in yrs to come when they are still alive. My friends tank is over 5 yr old and all his are still fine. I could understand if you had the tank and i proved that thy cant. But we have the tanks which prove thay can

People live in the streets, people live in prisons, yes it can be done nobody is denying it. But it's not ideal is it? Get off your high horse and do some research!

Ok 15 years. If looked after properly. I don't keep goldfish not sure the exact age but I know people keep them 10-20 years no problem. Most people like yourself, with limited knowledge, think because they lived 1,2,3 even 5 years before death that it was a complete success. When actually the fish died early due to being under stress it's entire life. By the way Tish lived for 43 years and Fred lived 41.
