+1Can you try it? Sure. But honestly 10 gallons is barely enough for one goldfish to live a long, happy life...depending on the species, of course. I wouldn't go with smaller fish simply because goldfish seem to like to inhale anything they can fit into their mouth. If you want the goldfish to have a companion it's easiest to just get another goldfish of a similar size.
Crayfish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have the larger 30 gallon set up and ready to go for the gold fish. Now I was wondering
If anybody has any suggestions on fish that I can put in the 10 gallon since
It is already set up. This can be either a school of fish or maybe just 1-3 other fish species that will be able to inhabit this 10 gallon. Thanks in advance.
For a second I thought this was a reply to what you could put in the tank WITH the goldfish, lol.Crayfish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always put neons or danios even guppies in with mine. I of course had a fifty plus gallon tank. And eventually Goldie would eat them. But in a ten gallon I'd say guppies. Lots of guppiesI have the larger 30 gallon set up and ready to go for the gold fish. Now I was wondering

People are understating the issue the original poster has. Comet (or regular common) goldfish, ie. the ones with the more streamlined carp body and not a more compact body, reach about 2 feet as adults. Those that don't are stunted by poor water quality, usually caused by a too-small environment. These fish are pond fish! They are not aquarium fish despite what pet store employees, carnival vendors, etc. will tell you. They DEFINITELY cannot be kept for any length of time in a 10 gallon aquarium without stunting them. Please consider finding someone with a large pond to take in this fish and instead purchase a heater and set up a betta fish OR a small school (about 6) of neon tetra or harlequin raspbora. Keeping the goldfish in a 10 gallon, even with no other fish in the tank, will severely stunt its growth and force it to live a short, unhealthy life.
