Temp stays relatively low at 76-78°.

75 gallons with a canister, huge sponge filter and bubble wall. Four angels, gourami, featherfin squeaker, handful of Congo tetras and danios.

I’m only really worried about Freddie Fish – he’s an albino parrot but is still small & young so doesn’t abuse anyone … yet.

Have you tried it? Condone me! Think I’m out of my g.d. mind? Condemn me!!!

    Ranchu goldfish get up to 8 inches long. They also like to dig in the substrate and nibble on plants. I personally wouldn’t risk it, but you do you! Do you have a way to rehome them if they don’t work out?

    They’ll be hard on your plants and decorations. They do prefer the water to be a bit cooler. If you put them in there, keep a close eye on your water quality until you have a feel for how much waste they’re producing. Keep an eye on the angels, too. They may peck at them.
