    hi,

    Ok, i checked the automated calculator and I know that my new 1 x 1 feet (18.5 litre) tank is too small for my small goldfish which is about 1.5 inch in size ( 3 mths old ). It had lived in a 6litre tank previously.

    I would like to add some neon terra to the tank. Maybe just 3 - 4 .. My question is will the gold fish eat the neon terra? Overstocking not withstanding.

    Thanks.

    I have a plastic plant in the tank which has a lot of smann leaves and a ceramic hidding place for the tetras. Is it ok? Thanks

    Unhappy Re: will gold fish eat neon terra?

    I had an incident once where my two goldfish ate the neons alive! Always couldn't figure out the mysterious disappearance of my neons without finding the bodies... Till one day i saw a goldfish trying to suffocate a neon in its mouth

    Same. I've witnessed my colleagues gold fish eat neon tetras.

    If it fits in the mouth, and it can be caught...

    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    yes they will eat the neons.
    if your neons are commandos, they will eat the goldfish tail

    Hi,

    How about if I add those smaller species of Goldfishes to my existing LionHead? Those that won't go bigger..and cost much cheaper?

    Do you think the lionhead will bite the small ones even though they are same goldfish but different species?

    Thanks

    Michael

    Goldfish and Neons are not compatible because the waste output from goldfish can cause your water quality to be somewhat uncomfortable for Neons which are known to be sensitive.
