OK, I am doing a nono keeping a goldfish in a community tank, but I lost 4 of 5 goldies and I didn't want more goldfish so I put in a few others.
I had 5 lemon tetras (small ones) and now after 4 days, I am down to 2. the keyhole cichlids are way too small to eat the tetras so completely. the only other thing I can think of is the goldfish had a few snacks.
I was told in a shop that the goldfish would be OK in this tank.(water at 23 c)..
any thoughts? _________________ 30 gal

If the goldfish could get them in its mouth, then it could have eaten them. _________________ Happy fishkeeping!

Well, I'm getting rid of the GF so it won't be an issue as of tomorrow morning.
I just dindt know if a Goldfish would go after other fish.

| Goldfish are like big babies, they don't know what something is unless they put it in their mouth. |
