? Loach is a common animal in China, belonging to loach genus of loach family, Cypriniformes, Osteichthyes. Goldfish is also one of the common fishes in China, belonging to Osteichthyes, Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae, Crucian Carp. In the process of breeding some fish, sometimes we can not only breed this kind of fish, but also mix many kinds of fish together, such as loach. But not all fish species can be raised together with loach, for example, goldfish is not suitable, because the living habits of loach are very different from those of goldfish.
Misgurnus anguillicaudatus belongs to the fish living at the bottom, which likes to live in places with more silt and does not require high water quality. Goldfish, on the contrary, have a very high demand for water quality and like to live in clean water, which leads to their inability to live with loach. In addition, the body surface of loach will secrete a kind of mucus, which will cause the water to become dirty very quickly, which will lead to the phenomenon of goldfish not adapting. Although goldfish is not suitable for mixed culture with loach, some fish can be mixed with loach, such as silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp and so on.
above, loach and goldfish can not be mixed because they have very different requirements for water quality and environment, not because loach will be eaten by goldfish. If the loach and goldfish are mixed together, the goldfish will not eat the loach, and the loach will not eat the goldfish. Generally speaking, loach and goldfish are relatively mild fish, and generally do not nibble at other fish raised with them. Although they will not eat each other, it should be noted that they should not be raised together.
