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. Feeder common goldfish do well with our flake fish food or mini pellet floating food.
Larger common goldfish in the 3-8 inch size range are available here: https://toledogoldfish.com/collections/live-goldfish/products/comet-goldfish
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. They range in size from .75 inch to 12 inches. 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. Comet goldfish do well in aquariums, tanks and ponds and can be mixed with other straight tailed goldfish. Goldfish growth rates are based on food, space, water quality and surrounding environment. 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.

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.

We are loving our fishes! They are a delight to watch zooming around our very large pond. We recently found an abundance of water lettuce that has given them cover and will begin to absorb the algae that grew overnight in our hot Louisiana climate. The first week we lost about 25 , mostly white, feeder fish. But considering this was our second attempt at getting the fish we didn’t feel it was right to make another claim. Once we got the water lettuce we have not lost one fish. Our water falls (3) can be turned on to ariate the water plus we have three bubblers in the pond. We also installed a new sand filter to further reduce the algae and remove ammonia. The ph remains a bit high, if you have any tips on getting that lower? The pond is 10,600 gallons and varies from 4’ to 5’ deep.
Molly and Jasper say thank you. The fish arrived safely and acclimated well. Did loose one fish the next day. Not unexpected. However I have to assume the raccoons are saying, "thanks, any more?". The smaller water trough had no fish by the end of the weekend. The other fish are doing well and all the bug larvae are gone.
Fish arrived sooner than expected and all were alive. After a week in my pond I haven’t found any casualties. Highly recommend, without any reservations!
Everyone arrived safe and sound and cool despite the temps being in the high 90's
Ordered 500. Only 5 dead ones. 100 degree weather!
I called in the order. The young lady was Uber. Courteous and very kind help me get everything squared away.
Very professional I’ll absolutely buy again from
Very satisfied
Fast, professional, and very good quality!
I have ordered many times from Toledo Fish and have been exceedingly happy with the excellence in fish as well, as service…that is until my most recent order. FedEx delivered the live fish a day late due to unknown reasons to myself. 3 types of fish were delivered…all dead! I informed Toledo Goldfish of this….they have reimbursed me only for one lot of fish…not the other 2…no explanation…I am no longer a loyal customer….there are many other in-line choices to order from

Hi William, we're very sorry to hear about your experience and the loss of your fish. We understand your frustration and appreciate your feedback do that we could go back and double check your order. It does look like a claim was placed for all three boxes, but only one when through. I reopened and pushed through the other two and you should see a reimbursement for them coming through this week. We apologize for the issue.
Very prompt
Let's just start with - WOW! Goldfish by mail - how is that possible!? But Toledo Goldfish does it so well. Overnight shipping and so many more fish than I ordered all arrived alive and well.
I was pleasantly surprised. We've purchased feeder goldfish from a local seller and at least 1/2 of the fish die. Water checks perfect. Decided to give Toledo a try given the good reviews. Out of 50 fish...not one died. They're all swimming around and active. It's been two weeks and no problems. I plan on ordering more.
I am very impressed with the Customer Support at Toledo Goldfish. There was a problem with my order and Lori stepped up and fixed it. The fish are in the pond and loving their new home.
All fish arrived healthy and active.
All the fish were alive and healthy. Awesome product
Fish arrived in good shape one fatality and about 20 sideways but breathing when I opened the box immediately while the Fed ex truck was still in my driveway, I followed the instructions water temps were almost identical which helped, turned fish loose and all the ones that were looking rough recovered. ordered 500 .75 to 1.5 inches I didn't measure but I'd say all were closer to .75 I'd order the larger one's next time I'm afraid my bluegills will eat them. I'd order again and likely will, prices are good especially buying larger amounts.
Fast delivery, well packed, healthy fish, adjusted quickly!
Fish came very fast and we're all alive. Cost was very fair.
The fish arrived ok, everyone was in good shape except 1. I liked the goldfish, the shubunkin not so much.
Website is easy to navigate.
All 25 fish arrived alive in excellent condition. It took them about 3 days to venture out into the open waters of my very large outdoor pond, but they now appear to be enjoying immensely.
Fast shipping, lively little fish, happily splashing around
Shipped with 6 dead fish
All good news.
All fish alive
Great Value and easy to use website.
