White clouds mountain minnows with goldfish

[goldfish freak]

I was wondering if it would be possible to sucessfully keep white cloud mountain minnows with fancy goldfish? To my understanding white clouds are coldwater fish as well, so would they do fine in a tank with goldfish or would they be eaten due to their small size?

I think any WCMM fry might be in a little trouble, but the adults should survive pretty well. The problem with this arrangement is mainly that many fancy goldies need warmer temps than WCMMs, if you can believe that!

(Room temp would probably be okay for both, though.)

agree with CD, my lfs keeps his wcmm in with his goldfish.

I find wcmm's are visibly happier at cooler temperatures. Also, if you kept them in a species tank, the adults rarely eat the fry.
