I recently took my housemate's fish into protective custody -- they had been dropped off at our house, stuck in a pitcher half full of chlorinated tap water, "fed" bread crumbs, and left for a week -- by the time I took them they were near death. I did some research and got the fish much healthier with water changes, food, etc.
Now I have a complete aquarium set up with the goldfish, zebra danio, and bloodfin tetra (I think). I now know that the danio and tetra are shoaling fish and would be happier with more of their kind, but I'm concerned because my tank is only five gallons (and I'm a poor college student who really can't buy another one), plus there's the goldfish in there, too. Will my danio and tetra shoal together? Which type should I get more of? How many? The tank is still cycling, so I don't intend to get more fish for awhile, but I want to plan.
Also, will my goldfish keep growing? He's currently sick (ammonia, I'm working on it) and very small...
Thanks!
