60 Gallon, What Kind Of Fish?

[AquaticRex]

i just got a 60 gallon tank, i currently have 5 EXTRA LARGE gold fish (about the size of baseballs not including the tails) in it with a sucker fish and a bottom feeder, but i was thinking of getting a cleaning fish, one of the ones that sort of try to clean off other fish, but i can't find them.. or can you not get those for fresh water tanks? if you can, names of fish types would be nice

believe it or not, people are about to reply telling you that your goldfish should be in a bigger tank . you'll be like . but believe it or not, its true.


are they fancy goldfish or comets?

I have never heard of a freshwater cleaner fish Rex.

BTW, you have a fully stocked tank already so more fish is not a good idea.

its not for now, but for later. the fish were with the tank when i bought it from a woman who wasn't taking good care of it. i had to get them..... i had to clean it really good. there was freaking green sludge on everything and the gravel seemed like it was never cleaned. heck, i even had to treat for Ick when i got them home :'( I'm trying the best that i can right now. the fish are already about 9 yrs the woman said, so I'm just looking for now for future references, cause don't goldfish only live up to 10 yrs?

and they're fancy goldfish. i noticed a lot of personality in them there are 2 black scope eye ones with fan tails. dusk has the top half of his 2 tails not split, dawn has 2 fully split tails and his belly is starting to turn gold, koi looks like a koi from his coloration. dusty is all gold with a yellowing belly and Vally is gold with a white belly. the thing that makes me question though is that when i set it up, i found this little fish in there. only about an inch long, if that. its flat and most definitely a catfish cause of the way its mouth and body and whiskers are, but the coloration is interesting. i moved him to a spare 10 gallon tank for now, but I'm curious exactly what species he is. if i put a pic up can some1 identify him for me? i named him spaz cause of the way he reacted when i found him. he swam wildly from side to side and was doing circles lol

but as i said, I'm pretty much trying to establish what to get for later. like, how many small community fish can i put in a 60 gallon? or even what should the set up be for plants and decor? as well another reason why I'm asking is cause a couple of friends want to buy a couple from me, so I'll only have prolly the 2 black ones left, so please ppl don't stress out on the "need a bigger tank" thing lol i know if i was going to keep them i would need another one, just i don't have the money or space, so some of them are going to my friends then my mum wants to take the black ones later, since she's starting up the 150 gallon again and wants something easy to take care of.... i love the 150 gal... wish i had pics of it lol, i helped her set it up and stuff (the decor and stuff). its so pretty

when i was saying cleaning fish i was just currious if there were such thing for fresh water. i know there is for salt water, but i wasnt sure about fresh water. it was just a question....
