Thanks! 4 F) e2 m, F6 N! e: Z. u0 l5 SWhat fish should I add to my existing goldfish? . m) w; H% _% L7 E# |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. : x8 R, C$ |" D% i& {& r9 hDo you have any suggestions?
