What fish should I add to my existing goldfish?8 p; W$ @8 Y2 [! N
I did not plan to have the least-expensive goldfish in my tank, but for the purpose of testing my water, I bought 5 of them. They have been doing very well. I do not think it ok to throw them away live. Then when I add fish, I have to consider what fish can live along with them. , a( T% w, A* O; ?2 O
Do you have any suggestions?
