Yes, as long as the gold fish is big enough not to be eaten by the catfish. Make sure the catfish is a cold water variety.No
no
No, a catfish cannot survive in a 5-gallon tank without a pump. Catfish require a well-oxygenated environment, which a pump provides by circulating water and promoting gas exchange. Without a pump, the water quality will quickly degrade, leading to poor living conditions for the catfish.
That's a resounding YES! My iridescent catfish was dead cause the water was cold this morning in his tank and when my mom went to flush him he was alive again and swimming around in the tank so yes I believe that they can!
turtles need to swim, live, everything in water and toads need water but don't live in it. . . . . Also the turtle could possibly eat the toad depending on size hahaha
No. Goldfish are cold-water fish, plecos (which are catfish) and your other catfish are warm-water fish. You run a heater in a pleco/catfish tank, but no heater in a goldfish tank. Plecos are also territorial toward conspecifics, meaning two plecos in one tank will fight and possiibly kill each other. The other problem? A 50-gallon tank is only large enough for one pleco, even if they weren't territorial. I would return one pleco, either the catfish--what is it, a bagrid?--or the other pleco, and the goldfish. If you want to build a community around one of these big cats, try some medium-sized tough cichlids like Jack Dempseys or firemouths. I kept three Dempseys and a pleco in a 55-gallon aquarium for years, and they were great together.1st: Plecos are catfish.2nd: Goldfish can't live with any other fish besides other goldfish. 3rd: What kind of Catfish is it? 4th: 1 pleco per tank only!
Yes it would. Generally any fish will live in tank so long as the environment is correct for that species. Catfish are pretty tough and should be OK.
Can you have three pictus catfish in a five gallon fish tank
Goldfishes and guppies should be kept in a different tank....
Ancistrus Plecos (Bristlenose catfish) are tropical fish and do not like to go below 70F. They prefer to be kept around 75F to 80F. The other 2 goldfish are OK together but the catfish would die in the cold water eventually
Goldfish are meant to live in cold water, not the warm water in a tropical aquarium. This is a huge reason why goldfish and tropicals shouldn't be in the same tank.
As long as the tank water is clean, and the fish are being fed properly, the catfish may just be entertaining itself by swimming that way.
