Provided you keep to the basic rule of 1 inch of fish requires 1 gallon of water and remember that fancy goldfish should grow to around 10 inches they will be perfectly OK mixed up. A good thing to keep in mind though is that they are all sports of the same species so they can and will cross breed.

What should you put a celestial fish with?

The only fish I know of that is called a celestial is a type of goldfish. If that is the case then most other fancy goldfish would be OK as companions provided the tank is large enough. A single goldfish needs at least 10 gallons of water to live reasonably well.


Can a common goldfish swim with a comet goldfish?

No fancy goldfish should not be housed with the more common varieties of goldfish because common goldfish are more aggressive and can swim faster which in turn would result in competition over food causing the fancy goldfish to become stressed and more susceptible to disease. Also common goldfish may damage the fancy goldfish's delicate fins by nipping at them.This (above) may be true in some cases, but I have a 15' x 8' outdoor pond with 2 fancy goldfish, 2 Sarassa Comets (goldfish) and 2 common goldfish and they all get along fine with each other as well as with my 2 Koi. I watch them eat and everyone gets enough, although the fancies are timid when it comes to getting the food. I wait until the others have eaten alot and throw out more food in their direction. Both my fancies are huge and the biggest I have ever seen anywhere.

Can a goldfish go in the tank with regular fish?

Goldfish should be fine with other non-agressive coldwater fish. Be wary of fin-nippers as well, especially if your goldfish are the longer-tailed varieties. If you have fancy goldfish, especially the types like telescope eyes with poor vision, be sure your other fish are not so much faster than your fancy that it can't get to the food before it's all gone. Goldfish do not mix well with tropicals as the temperature requirements are too different.


What is a single tailed goldfish?

Goldfish can be divided into two groups, single-tailed and twin/double-tailed goldfish. A single-tailed goldfish is a variety of goldfish with a single tail such as the Comet, Common or Shubunkin (poor man's koi). These varieties are much closer to the wild form of the fish and as such are hardy but require more space. Twin-tailed goldfish are often referred to as fancy goldfish. Fancy goldfish varieties are more delicate and have a 'fat' appearance. Some twin-tailed varieties are the Fantail, Pearlscale, Ryunkin, Blackmoor and the Celestial-eye. It is not advisable to mix twin-tailed and single-tailed goldfish together, as the single-tailed goldfish are more active and swift and may bully twin-tailed varieties as well as forcing them to compete for food.


Can coy and goldfish live together?

No because the coy is a fast growing, aggresive fish. The goldfish is a slow moving fish and very docile. The coy, once it outgrows the goldfish will start to eat the fins and constantly attack them. I have seen it happen many times with people who think they mix well. They will however live together in a large outdoor pond if there is enough room, food and cover.

Can goldfish and shrimp live together in the same tank?

Yes, goldfish and shrimp can live together in the same tank, but there are some considerations to keep in mind. Goldfish are known to eat shrimp, especially smaller ones, so it's important to provide hiding spots and plenty of plants for the shrimp to seek refuge. Additionally, make sure the tank is large enough to accommodate both species and that water quality is well-maintained to ensure the health of both the goldfish and shrimp.

How much water does one need?

Goldfish grow to be very large (up to 12 inches)and live very long(20+years).A common goldfish should live in an aquarium that contains at least one gallon of water per inch of fish(a goldfish will be happier in aquariums larger than that).Fancy goldfish should have a minimum of 15 gallons per fish and won't do well in a tank smaller than 30 gallons.Goldfish are pond and large aquariumcreatures:they don't belong in a bowl!
