Does a fish need the right temperature of water?
It depends on each type of fish. Certain tropical breeds need their own temperature and pH level. Goldfish are less fussy, however research into your breed of fish and find out what temperature it is best suited at. The usual safe temperature for tropical fish is between 22 - 28 degrees centigrade. However I think cold water fish are more flexible.

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.
What should the water temperature be for tropical fish?
Room Temperature (*does not matter as long as you don't throw ice cubes in the tank or heat it up on the stove) But when you purchase them with the bag containing them, do not immediate throw them into your tank; instead, put the bag with the fishes into the tank (filled) and so they can gradually adjust to the temperature in your tank. Seriously, people makes this too complicated sometimes. They are fish, really easy to take care of. I have gold fish and I have never bothered with the temperature, they are healthy and lived more or less to their life expectancy.
What pH the water shuold be for tropical fish to survive?
That depends more on the fish you are trying to keep. As a general rule most fish can adapt to almost any water conditions as long as it is clean, but not always. Just research the specific fish you are trying to keep to see what pH will work best for it.
