Goldfish are coldwater fish and will do best in very cool water.However goldfish can live with a heater as long as it is set very low:about 60-70 F degrees.Heaters can actually be good for a goldfish tank because it will keep the tanks temperature from changing often though I'd recommend using a chiller if you have problems with the tanks temp. changing.

Can you put a goldfish in a one and a half gallon bowl?

If it is a small goldfish, it will physically fit in something that small. But, it will not live very long in it. If you wish to keep goldfish alive, you need at least ten gallons of water for each goldfish along with a good filter and a heater to keep the water temperature stable. With proper care goldfish can easily live 15+ years.

Why do every fish you put in your tank die except your goldfish?

Goldfish are a hardy species and can survive in worse water conditions than most fish. The basic rules for keeping fish healthy are :- 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water, a permanently running cycled filter and at least 50% of its water changed every week. If you apply those basic rules your fish should be OK. I am assuming you are not trying to mix Tropical fish with Goldfish. If you are, then you need to get a heater for the tropicals so that they can be kept warm enough (75F). The goldfish would need to be kept in a different tank that has no heater.

Do mollies need a heater?

well, goldfish don't need a heater, so if they can live with a goldfish, then yes, they shouldn't need a heater. I'm gonna try to put a couple mollies (maybe like 2, or 3) in with a goldfish. they "would" be in a, um, I think it's a 1 gallon tank, that has an air bubble filter, thing, that goes in at the bottom of the tank, and it also has a hood, with a light.... You should try it, cause you never know what nature will bring you! Have fun! :):):)


What kinda fish would go well in a 10 gallon fresh water aquarium and would any of these fit together Calico Ryukin Goldfish guppy betta Shubunkin Goldfish neons and what others would fit with an?

Neon tetras, guppies, and bettas are warm water fish(they need a heater) and calico ryukins and shubunkins are cold water(don't need a heater) so none would really fit together except the warm waters. I have a shubunkin goldfish, common goldfish, and 2 dojo/weather loaches in a 29gal, but they used to be in a 10gal. I recommend another double tailed goldfish if you have the ryukin(single tailed will be faster and nip at the others fins and eat all of the food).


How much water does goldfish need?

It depends on the goldfish.. For ones that stay small you should have at least 10 gallons.. The bigger the goldfish gets the more water it needs. Those one and two gallon bowls do not cut it..
