polysterus with large gold fis?

[flowerfan]

I had just bough three polysterus, now I put them in a 40g breeder tank. Can any one tell me if Possible I can put them to the same tank with some large gold fish? Their size as follow:

1 abino senegalus 61/2"
1 senegalus senegalaus 6"
1 palmas polli 4"

How large are the goldfish?WHat kind of goldfish?

 

[flowerfan]

size around 5-6". I like to keep some fency gold fish such as lion head, etc.. But I afraid polysterus will try to kill them even if the gold fish are too big for them.

 

[beblondie]

its highly possible they'll get eaten besides goldfish are usually cool water fish and bichirs are of course tropical you really shouldn't mixed the two-Anne

Don't do it just for the main point that bichirs are tropical water fish, and goldfish aren't.

but do gold fish also do well if I just keep the water temperture arond 78-82? Are they hardy fish also, thanks for the advice

The goldfish will have all their fins ripped to shreds and swimming on stubs after a day or so.... don't do it.

Goldfish tanks always look best with no bottom feeders IMHO
