can you mix neon fish with gold fish?

Question

plz reply bck

Answer 1

As far as i have seen here you should not put any kind of tropical fish with a goldfish because goldfish produce alot of ammonia!

Answer 2

no, cold water and tropical fish should never live in the same enviroment. Although neons can adapt, and so can goldfish to some extent, they will be living in the wrong conditions and this will cause problems, maybe not straight away but definatly in the long run. Goldfish need to be kept at 0-18c, and tetras do best around 24c.
Feeding would be another problem, they eat different foods, there would be no way to ensure a healthy diet for them both.
Goldfish grow to be pretty big, and neons like to swim in groups and dart around, so both need a large area.
... you will see healthier fish if you keep them in the correct conditions.

Answer 3

NO! Goldfish shouldn't in any respect be saved interior of an similar tank as tropical fish. Why? Take your p.c..: a million) The goldfish's metabolic cost will enhance, which means the fish will die prior to it is going to. 2) Goldfish are tremendous waste machines that are ideal for ponds. 3) Tropical water can not dissolve as a lot oxygen as cooler water, so the fish would ought to breathe swifter to make amends for the shortcoming of oxygen, which again, will shorten its lifespan. 4) Many tropical fish are sufficiently small to in good structure into the mouth of the goldfish (through the time that is completely grown), which means they are going to be seen as honest recreation through the time the goldfish is enormous sufficient. //Edit// ALL fish supply off ammonia, besides the undeniable fact that the bigger the fish, the better the bioload, which means the goldfish will produce more beneficial ammonia than the tropicals.

Answer 4

Yes,if you don't mind the goldfish eating the neons. The answer ,of course, is, N O> They need different water temperatures,so even if you'd put in a divider,the neons won't last. Neons are tropical,and goldfish are coldwater fish.

Answer 5

No you can not.

Reason being neon's are tropical fish and their water temperature needs to be 70* to 78*.

They also eat tropical flakes not goldfish flakes.

Also one goldfish needs 10 gallons of water per fish. Reason is they create a lot of ammonia and with out enough water it will kill the fish.

Goldfish also prefer cold water 65* to 70* and they need to be fed goldfish flakes.

Both fish need a filter and places to hide. The tropical need a heater unlike the goldfish.

The two are to different to be combined.

Answer 6

neons dont' have a high tolerance for the ammonia variance caused by goldfish poop and leftover food. if you keep a huge tank with 1 goldfish per 10 gallons you could probably put some neons in. If it is anything less than that your neons won't last long.

Answer 7

It is not recommended. Goldfish have too many specialized water requirements and create too many water quality problems which would create a stressful environment for tropical fish. Goldfish should only be with other goldfish. And that goes one step further. Slim bodied only with slim bodied. Fancies with regular eyes only with fancies with regular eyes and fancies with specialized eyes such as telescope, bubble or celestial only with fancies with specialized eyes because of feeding issues. And the feeding issues would apply to the neons as they are faster and would get all the food.

Answer 8

neon tetras have a bad reputation as fin nippers, so i wouldnt put them with any slow moving, oranda types. but regular goldfish are basically carp, which means a) they can get pretty big and b) they'll eat anything, so..........

Answer 9

Yes but goldfish will try to eat any fish small enough.

Answer 10

I have before. They didn't try to eat each other or anything.
