Reply With QuoteSome of your cardinals might 'disappear'..goldfish feed on anything that fits into their mouths. And any plants that are not hardy.
I just got 6 cardinal tetra and a spotted sucker. They looks great and are new addition to my community tank. I intended to keep them for a week before introducing new family members - 2 medium sized Ryukin.
Before buying the Ryukin, I will test the tank is properly cycled - ammonia is 0ppm, NO2 0ppm. I have read some post online and people do rear them together and they leave peacefully together as the mentioned tetra is docile.
Do anyone here forsee any issues and precautions I should take?

Tank 2: Dymax IQ3 - 220mm/170mm/220mm ~8.22 Litres built in filtration (200-300 L/H; 5W), acrylic build and LED (1.6W) overhead light, ANS Planta Soil made in Japan, some bunch of plants.

Sad to mentioned, the 6 tetras died after 3 days in my tank. Please give a minute of silent to them. My condolences and apology for this mishap.
I added 3 new cute cute pearl scale about an inch each to my fish family. My surviving member is the outstanding spotted pleco, which is 5 days old in my tank.
I think I will keep with rearing goldfish first
