Common or Comet goldfish are the most well-known variety of goldfish. While most are solid orange or red in color, they can also be solid black or white or have black and white patterns on an orange body. Please note the pictures shown are a good representation of our fish but not the exact fish you will receive. Goldfish 4" or smaller do well with our mini pellet floating food or flake fish food. Goldfish that are larger than 4" can have either the mini pellets or larger 5mm pellets. Please note the pictures shown above are a good representation of our fish, but not the exact fish you will receive.

Frequently Asked Questions
About our Goldfish
Goldfish Description
Goldfish include a range of straight tailed and fantailed types of fish including orange common or comet goldfish, red and white Sarasa, blue shubunkin, and red or calico fantail goldfish. Goldfish do well in aquariums, tanks or ponds and can be mixed with most other goldfish and koi. Fantailed goldfish are better suited for aquariums or tanks and only paired with other slower moving goldfish. Goldfish growth rates are based on food, space, water quality and surrounding environment. They range in size from .75 inch to 12 inches. Goldfish are omnivores and will eat all types of dried and live food, but basic fish flakes or pellet food will provide the proper diet.
The comet goldfish, also commonly known as a common or pond comet, is the most well-known variety of goldfish. They have orange or red scales with a long, slender body and a straight tail. While most common goldfish are orange or red in color, they can also be solid black or white, or have black and white patterns on an orange body.
Sarasa goldfish are red and white comet goldfish, usually with longer finnage.
Shubunkin goldfish are calico blue in color and no two shubunkins are patterned the same, with each fish having its own unique look.
Fantail goldfish have a split or butterfly fanned tail. They are usually more round and shorter bodied. Fantails can be a range of color from orange, blue, red and black, or red and white.

Fish Feeding
Goldfish can eat many different types of fish flakes or pellets. We suggest goldfish smaller than 4" in size are fed flake fish food or mini pellet floating food. Goldfish larger than 4" can have either the mini pellets or larger 5mm pellets. Be careful to follow feeding instructions as overfeeding your fish can be harmful for your fish.
It is common for fish to by shy or stand offish upon arrival. It can take them some time to adapt to their new environment and learn to come up and feed.

After a Grear White Heron made his lunch one day on almost all of our goldfish, and after installing a net over our pond, we were so happy to restock with your beautiful replacements.
Many years ago I bought a bunch of small goldfish from Toledo to eat the larvae in my pond and they grew up into gorgeous big fish until recently my net split in a storm and the raccoons ate all but 3 in one night. So I just bought beautiful 8 inch comets again that arrived in great shape at a wonderful price They are still a bit shy and are hiding under the waterfall and lily's but are very healthy which is amazing after a long trip here. 😉 Thanks Toledo for the wonderful purchase it was very affordable and this time I'm using a heavier net 😀 👍
I ordered my fish on a Saturday. The fish were shipped on Monday for overnight delivery on Tuesday. I received the fish around noon on Tuesday and allowed them to get stabilized in the bag before releasing them. It’s six days later and the fish appear to be in excellent condition, feeding well and actively swimming around the pond. I’m not 100% sure but they appear to be growing a bit already. I highly recommend Toledo Goldfish for purchasing your goldfish!
The fish are just great, still shy, but thriving.
I'm very pleased.
Same as recent post.
Awesome service and great healthy fish
That is why I am and will always be a regular customer
Good. every one was alive and they all swam away in the pond with a water temperature of 47 deg f. They did not seem to be interested in eating anything on the surface - at least for the first couple of days.
Fish arrived healthy and in good condition.
I have encountered no problems. Thank you!
Very lively fish
Fish arrived healthy and all alive. I've ordered from these guys several times in the past 5 years and the result is always the same. Thanks again Toledogoldfish!
Showed up in great time and all alive and doing great
fish arrived on time and in good condition. Wonderful size goo looking fish and a good price
Toledo always has healthy fish delivered within a day to your door. Unfortunately prices have gone way up since a few years ago many due to shipping costs.
Fish size can vary a bit order to order but on last order I got more than ordered. They try hard to please.
Great fish and shipping is fast 👍🏻
Fast service. Healthy Fish. Thanks!
The fish came in great shape. Unfortunately a Raccoon got 15 of them. I have since relocated the critter. I get attached to the fish like my dogs.
Please people were absolutely great to deal with. We had some issues with the goldfish on our original order and not only did they make it right they went above and beyond expectations. Thanks, Toledo.
The fish all arrived in great shape. Thanks
I believe that I have ordered fish 5 or t times from Toledo….last bunch was released with my 6 yo grandson…all well….until he noticed one not moving…next day same and finally we had to give him a burial…..Other than this, extremely satisfied with Toledo and all animals recieved
Please buy these goldfish for your aquarium! They are the best and have the best customer service!
We received the fish this afternoon and wanted to give you an update. They arrived in good condition and after their acclimation soak we turned them loose. Don’t know when I’ve seen happier fish!?! There was lots of jumping! They were so feisty. Chasing water bugs and exploring their new home. After they settled down they joined up with the few goldfish that I had and all looked very happy this evening.
Thanks so much for an easy and successful fish delivery!!! 🐠 🎉🐠
Excellent Seller & Awesome Fish Shop! Fast Shipper with great communication and perfect packaging! All fish came as described. Thank you!
I’ve placed 3 orders with you and my pond is full of happy fish now. I still have a 20-year-old fish that needed some new friends, and your fish did the trick. I’m amazed at your packaging and shipping and how lively the fish are after their journey. Well done!
This is the second time I have ordered goldfish from Toledo Fish Farm (when I had only ordered five.) The first ones lived for nearly two years. My second order was delivered right to my door within a few days. I am very impressed with this company. So much better than buying fish from a pet store.
Fish all arrived alive and healthy, as of this writing nearly two months has elapsed and all are still alive healthy and thriving.
For fish being delivered by mail, they really have it down. Packaging is great, all fish arrived alive and hearty. Instructions on how to acclimate the fish to the pond water were perfect. And having the fish delivered in Summer had me worried, but they included an ice pack so the fish had a pleasant climate control trip to our home.
