Provided you stick to the basic rules there are Golden Orfe, Rudd, Blue Dace. Check with your local Pet Shop and see what they can get. The basic rules for keeping all species of fish are. :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (Goldfish are 10 inch fish) :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. (This turns Ammonia into Nitrate biologically). :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. (This keeps the Nitrate levels under control). If you keep to all the above rules your fish should do OK. If you don't I can guarantee that your fish will constantly be getting sick and they will have a shortened lifespan.

What fish can u put in with goldfish?

Can catfish and goldfish live together?
Yes, as long as the gold fish is big enough not to be eaten by the catfish. Make sure the catfish is a cold water variety.No
You have 2 plecos and a catfish Can they live with 3 large goldfish that are about the same size of the plecos and catfish in a 50 gallon tank?
No. Goldfish are cold-water fish, plecos (which are catfish) and your other catfish are warm-water fish. You run a heater in a pleco/catfish tank, but no heater in a goldfish tank. Plecos are also territorial toward conspecifics, meaning two plecos in one tank will fight and possiibly kill each other. The other problem? A 50-gallon tank is only large enough for one pleco, even if they weren't territorial. I would return one pleco, either the catfish--what is it, a bagrid?--or the other pleco, and the goldfish. If you want to build a community around one of these big cats, try some medium-sized tough cichlids like Jack Dempseys or firemouths. I kept three Dempseys and a pleco in a 55-gallon aquarium for years, and they were great together.1st: Plecos are catfish.2nd: Goldfish can't live with any other fish besides other goldfish. 3rd: What kind of Catfish is it? 4th: 1 pleco per tank only!
What fish can be put in a tank together with goldfish?
Most other coldwater fish. There are some species of catfish and then there is the Golden Orf and Blue Dace. Check around the local pet shops for coldwater fish. You never know what may be available.
I was wondering would a Ancistrus plec a blackmoor and a common goldfish go well together in my small cold water tank?
Ancistrus Plecos (Bristlenose catfish) are tropical fish and do not like to go below 70F. They prefer to be kept around 75F to 80F. The other 2 goldfish are OK together but the catfish would die in the cold water eventually
Can catfish be put with goldfish?
Cats can and will eat your fishy friends. It is always a good idea to keep fish bowls and aquariums. Fish occasionally like to jump out of their homes. Yes, catfish can and will eat goldfish, and any other fish smaller than they are.
Bumble bee catfish and some koi some guppies some minnows and some goldfish you want another catfish and you want a wild one is it safe if not what should you buy?
If you are keeping these fish together then you shouldn't be - they are not compatible. Some of these are tropical, some cold water and there are big size differences. The Bumblebee catfish are noticeably smaller than all of the other fish that you have mentioned and if you are going to put in a wild caught catfish then those guppies and catfish... and maybe the goldfish are going to disappear VERY quickly. You CANNOT keep these fish together. Separate immediately and do not put in a wild catfish, especially not a bullhead or channel.
Can you mix goldfish with shubunkins?
Shubunkins are goldfish, so therefore mixing goldfish with goldfish is usually not a problem. However, if the other goldfish are fancy then mixing them together would not be recommended.
Fancy guppies and goldfish share the tank?
Yes they can, I have a guppy (amongst other fish) with 4 goldfish together and they are very happily living together :)
Do Albino Catfish and Goldfish get along?
Yes they are! This is because goldfish and catfish eat different food stuffs and have different behaviors/ habits. Catfish like to hide out around/ under objects and mostly eat food from the bottom of your fishtank. Catfish eat the algae in your tank and will need supplementary food [expensive] before it is all gone not just because of starvation but because they also need other minerals and proteins. Goldfish are passive creatures and will not harm the catfish. Gold fish often come up to where you feed them, which is usually right at the very top waterline. Try a similar sized catfish or two [like a bristlenose] to your goldfish and don't put more fish in than the number that will fit end to end over your tanks long side.
Can 2 separate goldfish be put together?
You need to provide 1 gallon of water per inch of fish. Goldfish get along fine with other goldfish.
