Goldfish Tank and Pond Mates
Goldfish don't live alone and isolated in ponds in the wild. The general rule that you shouldn't mix Tropicals with Goldfish is true, but there are lots of semi-tropical and temperate fish that do live with them. Some of these find their way into cool water aquariums, including several species of Sharkminnows, and Loaches. Much of the controversy is semantics - these are not "Tropical Fish" sensu stricto, but Goldfish can live with other cool water aquarium fish.
