Question re Goldfish
I have a 75 gallon with 3 fancy goldfish (one blackmoore, 2 fancies)
I adopted all 3 of them together
they were living in a tank far too small to accommodate their needs
my question is this...do fish...in particular perhaps fancy goldfish work best or better in pairs? should I have 4?
The 3 appear to be fine together...just wondered.....
Thanks So Much in Advance

Re: Question re Goldfish
It's been my experience that they like being in groups of 40 or 50.
Seriously, they do like being around other fish, no need to have pairs of the same kind just not alone. They are very sociable fish and like to have friends.
