I knew to stay away from the fast moving goldfish as tankmates, for the same reason you keep Koi away from fancy goldfish in pond setups. The little bastards will eat everything and the fancies will starve
.
It's sounding like the only real thing you can keep with goldfish, no matter the tank size, is other goldfish. I'll wait and see what other folks have to say on the issue as well. Thanks for the thoughts, inBoil!
And Ghoastgirl, I'd love any advice JStrider can provide.
