The Red and White Comet Goldfish (Carassius auratus var.) is a lively and graceful single-tailed goldfish variety, displaying a striking two-tone pattern of vivid red-orange and crisp white with a long, flowing forked tail that streams elegantly as it swims. Fast, active, and hardy, Comet Goldfish are one of the most popular choices for outdoor ponds and large aquariums. Sold as a group of 10, this listing is ideal for stocking a garden pond or establishing a large, active goldfish display.
Care Guide
Tank Size: Minimum 500L for a group of 10; best suited to outdoor ponds where they have ample space to swim and grow; single-tailed goldfish are strong swimmers and require significantly more space than fancy varieties
Water Parameters: pH 7.0–8.0 | Temp 10–24°C | Very hardy and cold-tolerant; ideal for unheated aquariums and outdoor ponds in temperate and cool climates
Diet: Omnivorous — quality goldfish pellets or sticks; supplement with blanched vegetables, daphnia, and bloodworm; will graze on pond algae and plants
Temperament: Peaceful; compatible with other single-tailed goldfish and robust pond fish — avoid housing with slow-moving fancy goldfish as they will outcompete them for food
Tank Setup: Pond or large aquarium with good filtration and regular water changes; smooth substrate; secure from predators if kept outdoors
