Is there a goldfish?

[graceluvsplatys]

is there a type of goldfish that could be kept in a smaller tank? ( 5-10 gallons?)
is there any coldwater fish besides white clouds?

Baby goldfish are the only goldies I know that can fit in a tank that small.

White clouds, Zebra Danios, Leopard Danios, Pearl Danios, Gold Barbs, Green Barbs, Rosy Barbs, Two Spot Barbs, Bloodfin Tetras, Buenos Aires Tetras, Guppies, and Hillstream Loaches are do amazing in mid sixties some of them even lower.

thats what i was also thinking but its a goldfish either way that is going to grow big

As mentioned, goldfish really do get big and they do so very quickly.
As far as other fish are concerned, a hillstream loach would do fine in a cold water 10g.

thanks guys! I think that a goldfish is not the right choice for me. If Iwas able to get a 55 gal, i would get cichilds!
thanks for the help!

I have a 38 gallon coldwater tank with 2 paradise fish, 12 white cloud minnows, and 2 gold dojo loaches. Fun tank.

i like loaches, their bodiesare funyy

Unless the tank is an unheated room, you don't need a coldwater fish for it. The water in the tank will stay about the same as the temp in the room.

My dojos, well one in particular, will often bury itself in the sand so that only its head is showing. Funny little thing.

[graceluvsplatys]

well, my room temp keeps the watert at like 65. imin the basement, so i need heaters.

Why dont you go for livebearers and eels for your 10G tank,that is if you prefer them

[Fishguy2727]

In a 10 I think the best options are a school of either cool water danios (zebras, blue, leopard, pearl, etc.), guppies, platies, or white clouds is your best option.

how big can they get till you have to take them out of a 5-10 gallon tank?

2.5-3 inches long otherewise if left longer they will stunt there growth and will have future problems

[Fishguy2727]

I only thing of a ten as good enough for a holding tank while the larger tank is set up.

I have a nice planted tank with fancy guppies, one of my favorite 10 gallon tanks.
