From what i have read on here, Goldies need at least 75 gallons for one fish!! But i would imagine in theory they would be ok......ireally think the goldies need a bigger home tho Sam

I didnt mean to be rude, i just thought you should know..... Sam What type of goldie are they? Last edited by sxp8397 at 04-Mar-2005 17:20

katieb Fish Addict Posts: 697 Votes: 69 Registered: 03-Jul-2004	Id say yes if you had a bigger tank, only because those goldies get huge and produce a ton of waste. Putting a crayfish such a small tank, with an already comprimised bio-load is unfair to the cray. Not that the goldies are in too good of a situation either You do realize that those fish get 2 feet long each, don't you? I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.

He owned that tank, and he knew it. He did an amazing job of keeping that tank clean too... With goldfish, however, I'm not sure that would a be a good idea. Maybe it's a different kinda goldfish than what I'm thinking of, but if it's only 1 1/2 inches long, he's perfect dinner size for the cray. I fed my cray 1-2 inch feeders. At night, the goldfish had a tendency to probe the gravel for leftovers. That's when the cray attacked... Good luck.

Not to mention a ten gallon is just an-oversized bowl and we all know the issue on goldies and bowls.

koi keeper Moderator Posts: 3203 Kudos: 2033 Votes: 240 Registered: 29-Dec-2001	This is hilarious; it does not matter that the goldfish would be in a ten gallon. That is besides the main point of can they live together? The answer is a definate NO, they crayfish will have eaten them before the week is out.
