Re: Mixing Fish

Ive had fan tails and goldfish together and had no probs. I think its because they can nip at the fantails tail and fins.

Golden minnows are good community cold water fish but do require pump and filter but are easy to keep.

Re: Mixing Fish

I have had my goldfish & fantails for over 6 years now and have had no probs they might have a little chase or nibble but will soon settle in...

Re: Mixing Fish

the only thing to watch is competition for food- the main reason you don't normally mix the two types. Fantails are generally bottom feeders whereas goldfish are surface feeders...

i cant see this being a problem as long as you can see all fish are getting a fair share and that no bullying is occurring.



good luck xx
