Comet Goldfish - Carassius auratus

Comet Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are single-tailed goldfish recognised for their slender body and long, deeply forked tail. Plan sufficient space and filtration for their adult size.

Tank Mates

These goldfish display a calm temperament and are suitable for communities with other non-aggressive coldwater species like Shubunkins, Fantails, or White Cloud Mountain Minnows. To maintain a balanced aquarium, they should not be housed with tropical or aggressive fish.
