What will they get along with? I have a couple comet gold fish in a 55 gallon tank, want to add a single 3" koi for a ltitle while, will it be okay?

Most likely not good tank mates, Comet goldfish get quite large, and Koi get even larger, unless they have many hiding places these little shrimp would probably become a meal. These shrimp are best kept with smaller tank mates, tetras (not buenos aires tetras) guppies, etc. or in a tank all by themselves

Honestly, I'm not sure if the koi will want to eat them. I have them in my puffer tank to eat the left over food the puffers don't eat, but from time to time they get eaten. I'd call a local pet store that has them and ask them.

I am sure the shrimp will be fine in a tank that size sense they are bottom feeders. Mine did not live long because I did not put them in a heated tank and places to hide. As far as koi let me just say, we have a 5400 gallon koi pond in our yard and they ate all of our trapdoor snails. I can only suggest putting may 2 or 3 in for a while and see how they do. I hope this was some help.

They would be an expensive meal, and as another noted, also need warmer temps and more pristine water quality than usually found in goldfish tanks.

These shrimp need tropical conditions, while goldfish and koi are cold water

Not sure how well that will work because most inverts are sensitive to water quality and koi and goldfish produce a LOT of waste which in turn makes your ammonia nitrate and nitrite levels spike. My shrimp all died not from any fault of the supplier but because my tank water was not pristine.

Honestly, a 3.5 gallon tank isn't large enough for even a single goldfish. They are notorious for making waste. A goldfish needs at least a 10 gallon tank. This guy may do okay alone in a 3.5 gal tank, but move your goldfish to a 10 gal.

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.

The 750 is a good size for your tank. I have the 1150 for a 75. The key is the position. Experiment with a few to see what your fish like.

I'm a fan of the Emperor line of filters. I have goldfish in this tank and actually run two filters b/c goldfish are so gross. But I do love them and their cute personalities. I can't remember the name of the exact Emperor filters I'm using, but they use the "Rite Size E" filter cartridges. If you search on that, the Emperor filter that uses that size should come up. If you don't have goldfish, you should need only one filter this size. I think even the next size down is supposed to be able to handle up to 50 gallons. Note: In order to use the two filters, my husband had to cut me some extra space on this tank using a hand saw. But again, I only run two filters b/c I have goldfish in the tank, and I like crystal clear water. When I was was running only one filter, even with a sterilizer, there was still a slightly yellow tint to the water no matter what I did. I also like white gravel, and with one filter, the gravel got dirty very quickly and very often. In any case, I'm a fan of the Emperor line of filters and use them on all my tanks. It's only on this tank where I'm running two filters b/c goldfish are so messy! They are lucky they are so cute and have such gentle personalities. :-)

Honestly I have a 50 gallon with the 306 on it and I'm not very happy. I'm trying different things so I can't condemn the 306 just yet. What I can tell you is a have a 75 gallon for 2 pretty much full size Red Eared Sliders with a condo so the tank is full and I have about 20 Goldfish with the Fluval FX6 and the water is crystal clear! Have it on for almost 2 months and haven't even need to do a water change yet. So worth the money. And if at this point I wish I would have gotten the FX6 for my 50. My advise go with the FX6 --so worth the extra money!

I have mine on my aqueon 55 gallon. It works great so for me so far. Just make sure you get the 48-60 that way it lights your tank from end to end.

I have had 4 fancy guppies in one of my tanks for several months and they seem to be doing great. They are much more active than my bettas, chasing each other around the tank. If you want more than one or two fish in the tank I don't think any fish bigger than fancy guppies would do well.

Yes...These critters are really cute, my daughter has bonded with them. Believe it or not, they have personality and are a lot of fun to watch!! Initially, they were petrified in their new home, but are very comfortable now. They can sometimes be aggressive with any bottom/slow moving dwellers. One of mine is much calmer than the other, so again, it's a chance you're taking. If you decide to put them in the same tank, be sure that it's very heavily planted so that both have plenty of places to hide. Good luck and happy holidays!

It would probably be bstter to just swap the position of the white flourescent and the actinic so that the white is tied to the fans and don't run the blue actinic. Also this is very pricey for a goldfish tank a lot of petcos and petsmarts often run specials on tanks for $1 a gallon ... you could get a tank they could grow with and the filters and heater for much cheaper

I have 2 koralia 1650 in a 125 (72 inch length) and they are too much for the tank as a placed a partial obstruction in front to tame them down. I also have 2 850 which do not seem enough. For a 55 gallon I would stick with the 850 to 1000 range. I do like their magnetic base and wide column of water generated. I have mostly crushed coral salt tank with some aragonite sand. The sand is a problem with too much turbulence. Just one of the 1650 will transverse the whole 72 inch tank

I would say these fish would be great tank mates. As long as they are not aggressive or bottom dwellers. The Shrimp like to hang out on the bottom. I would suggest if you don't have many plants that you also purchase some of the java moss for them to hide in and play between. We love trying to find them in our tank as they hide underneath the moss.

As long as the other fish aren't too small or too aggressive. Most normal-sized fish in tanks aren't big enough to eat a large triops, but triops will eat other small fish. My second pack of triops said that they will eat smaller triops. And by small fish, I mean like neon tetra size. Adult triops can get a couple inches-- as long as the other fish in your tank are around one inch or more, you should be fine.Also, never add crawfish to any tank. I had a friend that had a crawfish, it ate both of his angel fish and escaped the tank.

Not too bad. I have catfish. Plecostmous, koi, and algae eaters, they all love it just fine.

I have a few other types in my 125 gallon tank and they seem to get along nicely. No issues for the past few months they have been together!

I guess you could, but goldfish (from my experience) tend not to like small tanks, they produce a lot of proteins and small spaces don't agree with that, but I suppose if you flushed the water enough it would do alright.

Sorry, but I don't have much experience with glo fish. I do have a couple yellow glo fish that glo very nicely under the blue night light "moon light". I would think you'd want at least the double bright for a tank that big though.
