I have two small goldfish in a 10 gallon tank. I have read somewhere
in this group that guppies and/or mollies can be put in the tank with
them. Is this correct? If so, how many guppies, for example, can I put
with my 2 goldfish?

I plan to switch to a bigger tank later. If I do so, can I introduce
guppies into the tank with the goldfish?

A 10 gallon tank is way too small for goldfish.

Also, goldfish should never mixed in a tank with tropical fish. Goldfish and
tropical fish have different temperature and feeding requirement than
tropical fish. Furthermore, goldfish sometimes carry diseases on them which
they are immune to and can pass on to tropical fish (which aren't immune to
these diseases).

El Capitan,

You are correct, about the bugs being carried by the Goldfish that doesn't
bother them and will effect the tropicals, but the tropicals can also be
carriers and give problem bugs to the Goldfish. At present in the market
there are some internal bugs that are being carried and brought to the
states from SE Asia, so the carrying can got both ways.
