can angel fish go with gf's???
Ruffledmumkin
I wouldn't recommend them. In my experience they seem to be sensitive, and can pick on other fish. Others might have had better experiences with them.

I wouldn't try it.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe angelfish need warmer temps than goldfish. Also, I believe they have different ph requirements.

There are some experienced angelfish keepers here, so maybe one of them will come by and give you some expert advice.

Angels are sensitive to the fish they are kept with and should really be kept with peaceful fish. Im not saying goldies arent peaceful but they do tend to be too active for angelfish and angels water temp is around 80f.

do not put angelfish together with the goldfishes .... I've mixed them together the first time I rare goldfishes.... anoyed by this nonsense i flush them (angel) in the toilet bowl... but during that time I've got only one aquarium... this is how much love goldfish biggrin.gif

unsure.gif That is one good reason why it's important to research fish before you buy them.Maybe a lesson can be learned by this. sad.gif

Couldn't you have at least found him a new home or brought him to a petstore?
iceman
yes please remember folks,that most pet stores will take your fish.(NO need to flush them) I just love angel fish( this makes me sad) sad.gif
mi2tom
Actually I was very young at that time.... that's why I've done it... If it were to happen now than I will know waht to do... come to think back it's a bad thing ..I know.... But I've already done it.... so ... I buy another angelfish to care and feed to trying to repent from what I've done.... sad.gif

smile.gif Unfortunately,we all make mistakes at one time or another-whether accidently,or on purpose.The good thing is when we learn from those mistakes.Hopefully you sound like you have learned. smile.gif

This might be a dumb question. But why can't you flush the dead ones, if they are small?
tinkerbell
because everything that you flush will end up in the sea / rivers / lakes. in these places you will find many many other fish. by flushing one dead one, you un the risk of infecting hundreds of these fish with whatever your fish died from sad.gif

That's what I think too. If the water and all that human waste didn't get treated in a water plant, I dont think anything could live in it in the first place ill.gif Besides...if that was true, wouldn't flushing a dead fish be as bad as doing a water change on an ill fish?

There would be a lot of problems if the water wasn't treated. Don't some of the people who live in the country have their own septic system? I don't think that waste goes to the sea.

all the fish in the sea would have ich!
Ponderosa Power
haha maybe not ich because of the salt, but they would definatelly have all those salt resistant parasites my goldfish kept bringing home unsure.gif
