Default Why Not?

Why not? I mix apples and oranges all the time in my frig. You can refrigerate both. They are actually quite compatible. What I am hearing in this discussion are a bunch of obsolete dictums about the sanctity of the lone Goldfish. Goldfish are community fish! You just have to have a peaceful cool water community.

Also you haven't defined apples and oranges. Are Goldfish the only apples, or the only oranges? There are over 20,000 different fish in the world, not two. Lots of them are peaceful cool water fish, like Dolphin Loaches and other loaches. They mix very well, regardless of what old school aquarists think. Learn about some new tank mates.

Also, you're gonna have to add Pears to your fruit basket. as I have elucidated before,Red Ceibals are cool water cichlids, and Dolphin and Weather Loaches get along fine with them and Goldfish, but Ceibals harass and kill Goldfish. Apples and Oranges aren't aggressive, don't misbehave and don't have territories. Fish do.
