Can a goldfish have a heater in its tank?

Can a common goldfish have a heater in its tank? I’m asking because I have a filtered freshwater tank, with a goldfish, and i wanted to get and African Dwarf Frog and some ghost shrimp maybe. I know that Dwarf frogs need a heater, and could my goldfish survive with a heater? What about ghost shrimp? do they prefer heated or room temp.? Also do African dwarf frogs need dry land?

Anyone have help on setting up a fish tank ?

I have a 10 gal tank and I was thinking of putting 3-4 neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and 1-3 vampire shrimp or yellow or purple banded shrimp if they are freshwater.And I’m going to ask if they store has bristlenose plecos and clams. I’m also looking for a betta but its fins might get ripped .So I know I’m getting 3 or more neon tetras ,1 african dwarf frog and some kind of shrimp from the store but I’m not sure if I should do that, what do you think?

Feeding live Brine Shrimp?

I’m currently cycling an Eclipse 5 gallon corner fish tank (freshwater) housing a single juvenile Zebra Danio and an African Dwarf Frog. My equipment includes a bio-wheel filter, hood lamp, air stone, large gravel substrate and a 25-watt Top Fin heater that is currently set at low and produces a consistent water temp. of 77.5 degrees. (sorry if this was all useless info!)

Basically, I’m looking to diversify/enhance said Danio’s & ADF’s current diet of flake food and frozen blood worms. Preferably, I’d like to find a local pet store (Seattle area) that sells ready-to-feed live brine shrimp. Setting up a mini-hatchery in my tiny ass apartment seems like a hassle (let me know of any possible mis-conceptions I may have about this!), although if no better options present themselves, I’ll make it work.

Can anyone share their experience feeding live Brine Shrimp? How often/how much should I feed? How do I make sure the ADF gets his fair share of live Brine Shrimp?

Regards!
I’m sticking with a single Zebra Danio just until the tank has finished cycling.
