White cloud minnows are cold water. They may get eaten if your goldfish are really big.

The only thing you would need for a tropical tank that you wouldn't need in a coldwater tank is a heater, and they only cost about $15. If you still want coldwater, Minnows, Danios, certain Tetras and others are coldwater, but really shouldn't be kept with Goldfish because of their toxic waste load.

Danios is additionally intently acclimated to chilly water and do exactly positive. although they ought to be in a college of a minimum of 6. while they do no longer seem in a suitable organisation , they have a tendency to get very fin nippy. Goldfish do maximum suitable with fish therir own measurement. The danios are so rapid that they'd do good adequate, and should no longer have dilemma competeing for food, although you ought to computer screen them and be conscious them on a daily basis. Platies are tropical fish and could ought to be in a tank with a superb temperature of seventy 8, it is going to no longer commerce from night to day or with the sesons. maximum pleco are additionally tropical fish and shifting temperature will take its toll on them. Pleco ought to in some unspecified time sooner or later come to a call to suck the slime coat "fishy immune technique" of the ingredient of lage slower fish like goldfish, angel fish, kissing gourami... Goldfish are very grimy and the water close to the backside of the tank were the pleco has to stay will achievable no longer be very inhabitable. Its no longer valued on the risk for the two species. Im sorry you were misled, although you ought to have the capacity to get a repayment once you communicate that they have got been so little doubt incorrect.

Yes you can but I suggest that if you need to ask this question, you need to do a bit of reading up before you try to keep them.
Like all fish if you don`t keep them properly they will nto live but will take a long time to die in your tank.
