Thanks! % R0 c' j9 f0 X) @ }- DWhat fish should I add to my existing goldfish? ' |" d& K2 E+ v1 T/ k' O& D" TI did not plan to have the least-expensive goldfish in my tank, but for the purpose of testing my water, I bought 5 of them. They have been doing very well. I do not think it ok to throw them away live. Then when I add fish, I have to consider what fish can live along with them. # @4 f4 S, h h% D4 \; MDo you have any suggestions?
