Help?

Hi Friends,
I came here on account of saving a goldfish. Some of you may know about the famous feeder goldfish named goliath. Would it be O.K. for him to live in a 74*F ten gallon with a Tiger Barb? The Tiger Barb was in a school but the rest of the TB's died and I plan to replace them soon. But would this particular goldfish be alright? (He is 3" and he was left to live in a bowl, I think he can fend for himself) The ONLY reason the tank is 74 degrees is because it's winter and I haven't adjusted the heater yet.
Not to mention the poor goldfish probably stunted a long time ago.

OK - I would be prepared for once-a-day water changes. Do you know if the goldfish would be interested in jumping? I have the tank pretty much covered up but if necessary I could cover up a little hole near the filter output. I am planning on feeding a mix of goldfish and tropical flakes, plus bloodworms.

I will be keeping the goldfish until I can get him his own 10g.

I am crossing my fingers they will be OK with each other, but that goldfish is FAST! I have seen him get a bowl-water change before. I don't see how you could net him if you had to!

Phew, I am glad I can save this goldfish. If everyone knew that bowls cause organ failure, That would be a great thing!

okay I will.

Actually he is being given to someone with a goldfish pond in the spring, I just want to save him for that long.
