Had a 7" goldfish in an indoor pond for 9-10 months with 2 rosy barbs, added 3 under 2" goldfish in march. No harm done whatsoever. ^_^[hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith?

I have never seen agression with goldies... vying for food yes but that isn't agression IMO. A friend of mine once told me that she heard an odd # of fish in the tank is a prob and the fish will kill one off so there are even numbers...sounds like the originator based that on the fact that they couldn't manage to keep more than 4 fish at a time alive! You are experienced so know adding stock is fine as long you have the tank space (dare I even broach that subject 'round the coldwater threads, It raises the passions) and the filtration can cope. All the best for your tanks and fishy friends. Last edited by wish-ga at 10-Aug-2005 22:47 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~
