This
video shows a
beautiful Pond
Comet Goldfish
swimming out into
a sunlit area in a
small outdoor
pond. Click here

buying Pond
Comets.
Scientific
Name. Carassius
auratus.
This
picture shows
a Red and White
Pond Comet. One
afternoon this
fish was darting
around looking for
food with
stretched out fins
and posing for a
picture. I
watched for a
while, then took
this picture.
Comets like this
one do very well
in ponds, where
they are usually
seen from above.

Behavior
These are very nice
fish for a pond. They
will usually grow too
big for most aquariums.
But it's enjoyable to
start them off in an
aquarium, where they can
be seen better. Later
when they grow too big
for an aquarium,
carefully acclimate to a
pond during moderate
temperatures.
Shubunkins
are a multi-colored
variety of the pond
Comet. Everything
mentioned on this page
about Comets applies
equally well to
Shubunkins.
Here
is a
beautiful
Shubunkin Calico
Comet for sale
in our facility. Click here

outdoor Pond

Water Aquarium with
at least 50 gallons of
water, an external
power filter with a
BIO-Wheel, and at most
1/4 of gravel,

Recommended
Diet Floating food labeled
for Goldfish not
Tropical Fish. Several other brands
of Goldfish food are
available in most stores
that sell pet fish. Floating
pellets are very good
for larger pond fish and
are also available in
most stores that sell
fish for ponds.
We
have read advice
elsewhere that all
Goldfish should be fed
sinking food, because
when they take food off
the surface, they will
swallow air bubbles that
will cause problems.
This is contrary to our
experience.
I just
watched my Goldfish eat
off the surface. After
most mouthfuls of food,
he burped a bubble or
two of air out through
his gill. The ancestors
of this fish have been
eating food off the
surface of the water for
a very long time. Of
course they also ate off
the bottom and at all
levels of the water
between the top and
bottom too.
So
don't worry about your
Goldfish swallowing air
while eating. Feeding
food that floats is a
good practice. If your
fish don't eat all of
the food in 10 minutes,
get a net and remove the
uneaten food. Click here
for more about feeding.
I also
feed my Goldfish a few
live Black Worms. I feed
each Goldfish 2 or 3
worms every other day.

Worms.

Compatibility
Best kept with other Pond
Comets, Shubunkins,
Koi,
and Butterfly
Koi, but not with
Fantails or Orandas,
which swim slower, are
less aggressive, and are
not compatible with Pond
Comets and Koi.

groups of Goldfish, and
why these three groups
should not be mixed.

several other groups of
compatible fish.
Size
and Life Span Pond

years old.
