No, molly fish are tropical goldfish are coldwater, also a goldfish will grow quite significantly larger than a molly fish and may pose a threat to the molly's life. These two very different fish have different nutrient requirements so therefore they must be fed different diets- which would be extremely hard to do being that the goldfish would probably eat all ther food.

A Goldfish should be expected to grow to over 10 inches so one should be housed in a minimum of ten gallons of water. (2 would need at least 20 gallons, preferably 30.) The basic rules for successfull fish keeping are. :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permananently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Keep your water at the right temperature (below 70F) feed them good food morning and evening, and follow the above rules and your fish stand a reasonable chance of survival. Fail in any of them and I can guarantee that your fish will have constant health problems.

Yes you can put Goldfish and Plecostomus together if the fish tank isn't overcrowded. If you feed this you have to make sure your tank has algae in it (which happens naturally) or feed them at night when all the goldfish are resting.

No. They need different water temperatures. Goldfish are coldwater fish and need to be kept below 70F. Guppies and Mollies are tropical fish and need temperatures above 70F.

You can do as you please but if the goldfish are large enough and the minnows small enough, the minnows just may be eaten.

Goldfish are meant to live in cold water, not the warm water in a tropical aquarium. This is a huge reason why goldfish and tropicals shouldn't be in the same tank.


What kind of conditions do water snails live in?

I recommend anything with water and space for the snails to eat. Basically any freshwater fish tank with be okay for the snails. I must tell you though, never to put snails in with beta fish because sometimes the beta fish will try to eat the snail so i recommend putting them in with goldfish or some other freshwater fish. I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank with a common goldfish and a golden inca snail and they live happily together. I hope this helps!


Can an oranda goldfish live in same tank with regular goldfish?

Yes, but your tank size needs to support it. If you mean that a regular goldfish is a long single-tail goldfish, then you need at least a 40 gallon tank just for the 2 fish due to the size potential of the common goldfish. If you mean a regular goldfish as in a round bodied fantail, or perhaps a ryukin, then you need at least a 30 gallon tank for the 2 fish.

How does a goldfish grow as a size of a foot when in seawater and still the same size when in a bowl?

Goldfish release growth-inhibiting hormones into the water they live in: the more goldfish in a smaller space, the less likely they are to grow. For instance, if I have a common goldfish in a 5 gallon tank, it will grow to about the same size if I had 6 of the same fish in a 30 gallon tank. But leave that fish alone in a 30 gallon tank, and it will grow larger. This is why pond goldfish grow bigger. But goldfish won't grow at all in seawater; they aren't saltwater fish.
