This is the bottom end of the Panda Corydoras temperature range, but it should still work out ok. I have found Panada Corydoras to make excellent tank mates for Fancy Goldfish, providing you set the water temperature correctly.įor Panda Corydoras and Fancy Goldfish to get along, you will want the water temperature to be right at the Fancy Goldfish’s upper limit of around 74☏ (23☌). It is not unheard of for Hillstream Loaches to breed in the home aquarium, and providing you give the offspring enough hiding places in the form of rock piles, you may find your population increases over time. What they will do however is eat any food that gets past the Fancy Goldfish and makes it to the bottom of the aquarium. Thanks to the fact that Hillstream Loaches want to eat off the bottom, or scrape algae from flat surfaces, there is little chance they will try to eat the same food as the Fancy Goldfish. They will stick themselves to rocks, decorations, and of course the aquarium glass. Reticulated Hillstream Loaches look and act like a pleco. Hillstream Loaches Image Source: Girl Talks Fish (YouTube) Below I have listed a few tank mates that I have found to work really well. Some have been very successful, others not so much. I have tried lots of different tank mate combinations with my Fancy Goldifhs over the years. When the water temperature is lower, there is a risk their food won’t digest properly, and can actually start to rot, causing the fish internal problems. Keeping the water at a minimum of 64☏ helps the Fancy Goldfish digest their food more easily. ![]() The water should be kept at between about 64☏ and 74☏ (18☌ and 23☌).Īlthough often considered a cold-water fish, Fancy Goldfish do much better when the water is kept slightly warmer. In my experience, the ideal tank for a small group of Fancy Goldfish is at least a 40-gallon (155 liters) tank. Fancy Goldfish do not swim quickly, so it is easy for almost every breed of fish to get to the food before they can. In my experience, Fancy Goldfish do best when kept either in a species only trank with their own kind, or with other fish that won’t try to outcompete the Fancy Goldfish for food. From the Bubble Eyed Goldfish to the large, round Fantail Goldfish, there is a Fancy Goldfish to suit every taste. These beautiful, charismatic fish come in a wide selection of colors, sizes, and fin types. Keeping Fancy Goldfish is a hobby that goes back hundreds of years. It is easy to see a situation where male Mollies, especially larger Sailfin Mollies bully and stress out the Fancy Goldfish who do not have the ability to swim away and hide from the Mollies. Male Mollies can be quite boisterous, whereas Fancy Goldfish tend to be very placid. There are a number of good reasons Mollies and Fancy Goldfish should not be kept in the same aquarium together. Why Mollies and Fancy Goldfish Should Not Be Kept Together I decided to take the Fancy Goldfish out and move them to their own tank. I kept this tank going for about 3 weeks before it became clear the Sailfin Mollies were dominating all the food and the Fancy Goldfish were getting very little to eat. No matter how much food I added, the Sailfin Mollies just kept eating it. ![]() I added more food, but the same thing happen. When I added food to the tank, the Mollies shot through the water like torpedos, consuming as much as they could, whilst the Fancy Goldfish bumbled slowly across the tank.īy the time the Fancy Goldfish arrived, the lion’s share of the food was already gone. Straight away I realized the Sailfin Mollies were much faster swimmers than the Fancy Goldfish. I took a 40-gallon (155 liters) tank and put 3 Fancy Goldfish with a group of 6 Sailfin Mollies.įrom day 1 it was clear this was not a combination that was going to work. I have kept both Mollies and Fancy Goldfish for many years, and about 5 years ago I tried this combination.
