Its pretty much impossible to tell for the WCMMs and goldfish. Not sure what kind of fish your fantail is, it could be anything. Could you be more specific?

FYI, your tank is far too small for a goldfish. Depending on what kind it is, it will need either a 20g (75 litre) or 265g (1000 litre) pond.

Ok, that's a fancy goldfish. Needs 75 litres as an absolute minimum.
