Okay so I have 2 small comet goldfish (about 2 inches) in my 150 gallon tank in my family room. I want to get some more fish for my tank. I got 2 fish online that someone was giving away for free, and I'm going to the pet store tonight to get a really nice calico comet feeder that is really beautiful! He's the only one who looks like that out of like 300 so I'm getting him for sure. He's about 3 inches, 3 and a half maybe.
The other 2 fish I'm getting, I'm not sure what kind they are but she said they're really small. She sent me a picture and they look like small fantails, but I'm not too sure.
anyway, getting these fish, will they all get along with each other?
And how should I go about quarantining them? The only tank I have with no fish in it is a 5 gallon, as well as a 3 gallon fish bowl. the bowl doesn't have a filter in it or anything, I just put my fish in there when I clean their tank.
Also, since I'm getting a bigger fish than mine from the pet store, should I also get one smaller than them to compensate ?
And how should I go about putting them into my tank? I know to let the bag sit in the water for bewteen 15-30 minutes, but which fish should I put in first, and how long should I wait before I put the rest in ?
I know getting 2 fish that I know nothing about from the internet was a bad idea, but she said she was going to flush them, so I had to rescue them! She's dropping them off this afternoon.
