other fish for a goldfish
My girlfriend has a 29gal un-heated tank with a single 1.5" fantail. she wants another fish in there but she wants to know her options.
any suggestions?The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits

As goldfish tanks are supposed to be unheated I would stick with other fancy goldfish. Just don't get any regular comets(Feeders) as they are a lot quicker than the split tail fancies and get most of the food.

Yeah, fancy goldfish should be kept with other fancy varieties, as they will have a trouble getting enough food if they are kept with the common kinds .

The tank isn't heated, so tropical fish might not be a good idea....
