Other goldfish of a similar breed are compatible tank mates.
- Goldfish require cooler water temperatures than many other varieties of fish.
- Goldfish can pick on/snack on slower fish or creatures in your tank. ex: apple snails.
- Goldfish are aggressive opportunistic eaters and can out compete smaller or slower fish.
The last point explains why you should not mix slow moving or poor seeing goldfish breeds like the celestial, bubble eye or telescope with a strong swimming shubunkin, ryukin or comet.

My swoardtail keeps fighting with my goldfish They have always got along but the goldfish lost a few scales because of my sucker's tail now the swoardtail keeps going after it what do I do?
Get a separate tank for the goldfish (or swordtail either or) these fish are naturally not compatible and putting them together endangers the lives and overall well-being of both fish. If you keep them together much longer the goldfish will probably be wounded by the swordtail, get an infection, and die. Hope this helps
What tropical fish can live with goldfish?
it depens on what type of gold fish u have ( ordinary or fancy ) The simple answer is no. You can not keep tropical fish and coldwater fish (goldfish) successfully for long. Amongst other things, Goldfish run out of oxygen and tend to stress when kept too hot for too long. The metabolism of Tropicals slows down when the water is too cool and their organs simply shut down and the fish die.Tropical fish and goldfish prefer different temperatures; goldfish like to be at around 70F (room temp), whereas tropicals need more in the 78-84F range, and so putting them together can be problematic in that either the goldfish or the tropicals will be outside their normal temperature range, which can lead to stress and disease.
