Zebrafish and goldfish can't be raised together. The specific reasons are as follows:
1. The difference in body shape is too great: zebrafish is a small fish, and its body length is about 4-6 cm in adulthood. Goldfish is a medium-sized fish, and its body length is about 20 cm after adulthood. The size gap between them is so great that zebrafish are easily bullied by goldfish.
2, different habits; Zebrafish is a tropical fish, which likes to survive in water temperature around 24-26 ℃. Goldfish are cold water fish and like to live at a water temperature between 18-24 ℃. They have different requirements for water temperature. Although zebrafish can be cold-resistant, living in low temperature for a long time has great influence on their growth and development.
3. Different foods: Although zebrafish and goldfish are omnivorous animals, goldfish prefer plant feed, while zebrafish prefer animal feed. They have different food requirements and cannot be mixed together.
2. What fish can zebrafish be raised withAs mentioned above, zebrafish belong to small tropical fish, so they are more suitable for polyculture with small tropical fish. Common moonlight fish, Mary fish, guppy fish, penguin fish, traffic light fish, white cloud golden silk fish, lotus lantern fish, etc. can be mixed. These kinds of fish have low requirements for the environment, and have strong adaptability to the environment, so they are more suitable for polyculture with zebrafish.
