I have a non heated tank since I was planning to keep only gold fish.
Just out of curiosity can I keep any other type of fish there at all
without the fish dying due to infighting? Or is it completely ruled
out?
Thanks,
Prat

Someone is bound to shoot me down for this one, but I've kept other fish
with my goldfish and had no problems. I had a couple yoyo loaches and tiger
barbs in my goldfish tank for a little while. They did just fine. Loaches
are generally hiders, and not aggressive, so there was no problems with fish
chasing or fighting or fin nipping... Same with the barbs. No problems at
all. I also had little albino cory in with my goldfish for quite some time
(probably a good 4 or 5 months) and he did just fine as well. I eventually
moved it out into a different tank with other tropicals when I set the tank
up, but he seemed just fine and dandy with the goldfish.
I've also had a pleco in with my goldfish forever. He started out real
small (about an inch from nose to tip of his fin) and now he's around 3-3.5"
in size and happily kissing the glass to keep it clean and nice. He's been
in there all along with no problems.
I'm guilty of tossing in other fish with my goldfish, and flame away if need
be, but I've never had a problem with non aggressive tropicals, anyways.
Just my 2¢.

I have my GF in my tropical tank. It started out as an emergency measure,
but it's been 6 months and everybody is doing fine.

I'll agree that WCM do fine, but plecs should be out of the question. They will
develop a taste for goldfish's slimecoats.
