so238 wrote: Hello goldfish keepers, There seems to be the notion around that goldfish mustn't be kept with tropical fish due to differences in temperature requirements. I am quite certain it's not really true, as I've lived in sub-tropical Taiwan. Temperatures are around 30 cel. most the year (dips briefly to +10 for a month in winter), but goldfish are commonly kept and survive and thrive (when properly cared for, of course). And goldfish are bred commercially in southern China with a similar climate. I think the reason goldfish aren't so good with tropicals is because they're big and messy. Maybe goldfish survive less than ideal water quality better than tropicals? Speaking of goldfish and climate, I've settled in Europe now and preparing to keep some goldfish in a big tub on my balcony. I know nothing about overwintering. If it gets near freezing (but usually just above) in winter, how should I go about reduced feeding, etc.? Can you actually keep them in a big tub (50 gallons?) in this kind of weather?
