No. But goldfish can eat tropical fish food, like bettas can. Do not feed goldfish any food that is for betta fish only.They can, but shouldn't there isn't enough nutrients in the food to keep goldfish healthy. Try flakes or pellets made specifically for goldfish.Not particularly only if the fighting fish is territorial, if so, quickly take the fighting fish out of the tank

Can guppies and swordtail fish live together?

Unfortunatly not. Goldfish are used to freshwater conditions where as tropical fish have tropical water conditions. Both have diffrent PH water requirements so chances are that your godfish might die. Hope that answers your question! Answer: No, goldfish and tropical fish should not be put into the same tank. They have drastically different temperature requirements that need to be addressed. The goldfish are coldwater fish that need temps in the range of 60-65 degrees. The tropicals need to be kept in temps of 72-76 degrees and some even higher than that. Keeping a fish in the wrong temp water stresses them a lot and eventually compromises their immune system. Then, opportunistic parasites and diseases take over and the fish's life is shortened appreciably. ANSWER No, I wouldn't YOU CAN, ITS ACTUALLY GOOD TO HAVE GOLDFISH in water the same temperature water as tropical fish. Goldfish prefer tropical fish flakes aswell. becasue that's what i do and they have been fine for ages.


Is koi fish food and goldfish food the same?

Not neccessarilly all feeder fish are goldfish. Feeder fish are usually those fairly small fish that are regarded as being not suitable for sale as specimens for some reason. They often are poorly coloured or deformed livebearers and other species too. Yes, I agree with the answer above. I am sad to see the feeder goldfish they sell in such terrible conditions! My fancy goldfish were almost 10 dollars each, and the feeder goldfish were 75 cents!
