Would a Iridescent Sharks get along fine with goldfish?
Golden Supanova
they don't really have any specific water requirements, but they need around 400gallons each as they grow to about 4 foot or longer!!
their requirements are temp around 71-79, pH between 6.5 and 7.5.


soi don't really know, i don't think they should be kept together.

I would have to say no.
I would be scared of haveing a shark with my goldfish
wouldn't they attend to attack the goldies.

Personally I believe in keeping coldwater fish with coldwater fish and tropicals with tropicals so I would say no. Maybe it could be done but specialized tanks for the species or the community of fish you have are the best for the fish, when you have two types of fish together that are so different one or both species are bound to suffer a little. I assume irridescent sharks have different food requirements than goldies and probably thrive at a higher temperature than goldies do.

I just read up on iridescent sharks and it said that because they are a "scaleless"
species of fish they are very sensitive to malachite blue and green, so keep this in mind if your goldie or shark get ich these treatments may kill or harm your shark.
