I struck my own curiosity with another post I created earlier.
I LOVE fancy goldfish and I really like White Cloud Mountain Minnows and Danios of many sorts.
Instead of getting 2 fancies, is there a possibility of having a tank with a school of danios or minnows and 1 fancy goldfish? Would the Goldfish eat the smaller ones? If I got a young Goldy and older Minnows/Danios, would that be better so the smaller ones could get larger while the Goldfish was still smaller? If I were to provide the smaller fish hiding spots only they could fit into, would that help their chances? Would the smaller fish actually bully the Goldfish?
I feel this would be really cool to do.
I have a 29g and an Aqueon 55/75 filter, but I can switch filters if necessary. I have a heater which will be set to low just to maintain at least 65 as the tank is downstairs and it gets pretty cold down there sometimes. I want to make my own goldfish food too, and I've got some recipes. The Goldy would be slower, I'm guessing, than the smaller fish, so I guess spot feeding is what I would do.
I need to know!!!
