mixing fishes problem

[MrCool]

i have a 3 koi , 1 patin (tall fin pleco) , 1 long tail shubunkin and 1 Calico Shubunkin . These bunch go together well . When i put in gold fish , they are badly attacked once the lights are off at night . I am trying to find out which one doesn't mix with the GF.

I am quite sure it's not the two shubunkin. The pleco looks like very tame and swims round and round at the bottom. Now I suspect it's the koi cos they like snipping at the Gold fishes' tail . I thought koi mix well with GF.

Hi Mr Cool,
did u mean tat the new goldfish is double tail?.

FYR,
single and double tails goldfish should not mixed 2gether.double tail goldfish usually b'come victim for their cousin brother.separated the double tail goldfish in a separated tank and add some medication .hope it help.cheers.

Is ranchu and Japan type ryukin considered double tail ? The head is bubbly.

These two were viciously bullied and attacked . The ryukin lost a lot of scales around the stomach . Hopefully can grow back. It's still eating. The more expensive Ranchu was not harmed luckily.

I have them separated now in my emergency 2ft tank and put some Melafix and multi vitamin.
