can i move my 1.5 inch fantails in with 4 inch goldfish? cuz my fantails are only in a 2 gallon which isnt good for them

@littlelauren971 That shouldn't be a problem, you could keep an eye on the fantails a bit extra if anyone is nibbling on their fins.

@souzaknight86 Raise them in a big aquarium or a pond, and quality foods only, i use Hikaris goldfish foods, vegetables, earthworms, blood worms, fruit, algae droppys, insects etc.

@homer655 ok thanks and if they do mate can i put the more gravel over the eggs to keep them save

@jalen70506 You can also try putting the fish pair in a smaller tank (with mature tank/filter) for a week with 10-20% water changes every day. And then put them back in a bigger breeding tank to trigger spawning. I've tried the ice technique under hot summer days with poor results, ice melts fast and it doesn't lower the temperature much at all to be honest. Easiest would be to buy a cooler, but those can be very expensive if your lucky you can find a used cooler on ebay or something.

@homer655 kk and to make them breed and i put a bag of ice and just let it sit tell they water gets cold and then when the water is cold can i put hot water in a bag because the fish might thinks its spring

[homer655]

@jalen70506 Its almost impossible, males get white spots on their gill flaps (not ich) at spawning time. Thats the only way i know.

[jalen70506]

how can you tell if it is a male or a female

@homer655 hay i washed the tank with hot water and the rocks to do you think that shod be good

or shod i do what you told me, how shod i wash the live plants. i did some research and it sead if the free swimming ick didn't find a host i will just die?
