There are three main reasons why goldfish cannot be raised in the same tank as tropical fish. The first aspect is that goldfish are cold water fish, and their living temperature is low, generally living in water at 16-24 ℃. Tropical fish live at a high temperature, and they generally live in water at 26-28 ℃.
The second aspect is that goldfish generally live in weakly alkaline water, while tropical fish generally live in neutral or weakly alkaline water. The third aspect is because they have different temperaments. Goldfish are gentle and don't like fighting. Most tropical fish are fierce. If they are raised together, tropical fish will bully goldfish.
2. What fish can goldfish mix withGoldfish is a common ornamental fish, and they can mix with many fish. But not all fish can be mixed with them. Goldfish are small in size and gentle in temperament. Therefore, when choosing mixed fish culture, we should consider body shape, temperament and living habits.
In terms of body shape, we should choose those with little difference from goldfish, those with mild temperament and cold water fish in terms of living habits. In addition, you can also choose flexible fish, so that they chase each other, which is conducive to increasing their activity. It is recommended to put different varieties of goldfish together for polyculture, which also has high ornamental value.
