Can a goldfish live with a paradise fish?

Answer 1

There are several reasons why housing these two very different types of fish together would be a bad idea. First off, paradise fish need to be housed in warm water and goldfish need to be housed in coldwater, there is no way to compromise here without harming your fish's health and certainly preventing them from thriving. Along with not having proper water temperatures there would also probably be quite a big size difference and a number of aggression issues caused by either of the fish. The paradise fish will probably be able to eat faster then the goldfish thus causing the goldfish to starve, also paradise fish and goldfish have different nutrient requirements and need to be fed different types of food(which you can assume is hard to do if the paradise fish keeps eating the food intended for the goldfish).

Answer 2

i recently housed a paradise fish with a goldfish in my tank, and it is not adviseable to house these two species together as it will attack it. it is better if you house gold fish with cloud mountain minnows as they are quite docile fish.
