Will it harm a goldfish to put it in a tropical tank??

Question

Basically I have a couple of goldfish, but, their tank is really really small. I also own a 40 gallon tropical fish tank and the temperature is around 25 degrees celcius. So, will they die if I pop them in the tank???

Answer 1

I think will be okay since at the pond it reaches that temp. however I won't recommend that you mixed your goldfish with tropical fish tank

Answer 2

First, goldfish don't transmit diseases to other fish, they don't care about rapidly changing water conditions nor is their urin high in acid.

Goldfish are very hearty fish.  Fancy's can be kept in temperatures in the 70's or even 25C.  Koi, commons, shubs and comets should be kept at 75 or  lower.

They won't die  you will need to acclamate them to your tank however.

Answer 3

Goldfish may be coldwater fish, but this does not mean they can tolerate rapid changes in temperature. The sudden shift in temperature that comes at night, for example in an office building where a goldfish might be kept in a small office tank, could kill them, especially in winter. Temperatures under about 10 °C (50 °F) are dangerous to goldfish. Conversely, temperatures over 25 °C (77 °F) can be extremely damaging for goldfish (this is the main reason why they shouldn't be kept in tropical tanks).

Answer 4

The bigger problem is that the goldfish will transmit a disease to the tropicals.

Depending on the tropicals, the goldfish may attack them, or vice versa.

Goldfish and tropicals should never be placed together due to the large difference in preferred water temps.  At higher temps, the goldfish's metabolism goes up, it requires more food and produces more wastes.

If they're common goldfish, a 40 gallon tank will be just the right size for the two of them at maturity.

Answer 5

goldfish have alot of alkaline in there urine. I wouldn't put them together  as it will mess up the PH in your tank.the temp might be too warm for them also .
