Does anyone know of any other coldwater fish you can keep with goldfish?

Koi, orfe, Channel Catfish, White Cloud Mountain Minnows, Mosquito fish, tench, bitterlings, rudds, chubs, other carps (grass, ghost, crucian, leather, mirror, etc), sturguen, weather loaches, etc really depends on just how cold your cold water pond gets and how deep it is so that there might be warmer spots at the bottom to over-winter. Also depends on if you want population control (goldfish being eaten). And of course pond size....

Just a few off the top of my head. I have kept at least half to 3/4 of those in Koi ponds.



Koi

Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn.

Biggest issue IMO after what fish can go with goldfish is what the tank will support ....or in the case of ponds what the pond will be able to support and what the temperature range in each case will be.

I read an article once about roseys being used as dither fish, but I am not sure if you want to introduce feeder fish an possible disease into your pond.

Oh I have a tank, not pond

Go with giant dainos they work well.

What size tank are you working with here?
