Hi! I'm new to these forums, so if there's a section where my question's already been answered then just point me to it. (: About a year or two ago, I purchased two red capped orandas and set them up in my tank. They've been happy ever since and i've never had any trouble with them, but I woke up this morning to find that one of them had passed away. I don't think (or at least i'm hoping) that it hasn't been anything i've done, I'm not sure about their life span so it could just have been old age? Either way, i'd like to purchase one or two more fish to put in my tank to keep Artemis company. My question is: Can I place any other type of fish in my tank? or am I better off sticking with Orandas? I just wouldn't want to put a fish into the tank and have problems. Would any goldfish variety be alright? Sorry if this seems like a bit of a silly question - I'm fairly new to owning fish.

Hi, LisforLucy!

Their lifespan is about 15 years. Fancy goldfish are a little more of a challenge - more for the advanced fishkeeper. How long did you have your red-capped oranda. (Is that a fish-shaped hairclip? Cute!)

Other fancy goldfish will be fine with Artemis. Also, cory cats if you like. What a great name! How is he doing? Did you get to the bottom of what might have happened to your other dear red-capped oranda? - Mary ( :
