thanks for your advice the large tank is around the size of your
average coffee table and the golfish are at the moment only one inch.
They came from a golden carp that bred with a tench so they are very
unusual ! Compleltly gold and absolutely stunning !

I have very few tropical fish in a very large tank (about five) so i
will look to rehome the tropicals (though i will keep the pleco in with
the goldfish in cold water conditions)

Can you send me some pictures of this unusual carp-tench mix? It's a great
combination...

GF are very dirty fish and trops usually cannot stand the levels of nitrate caused by
GF. GF eat anything fits in their mouth. Ingrid
