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.
