Difficulty:Easy Max Growth Size: 30cm in a pond Temperament: Preferred Water Parameters: Temperature:15-27 degrees celsius pH Level:7.2-7.8 General Hardness: Mod Diet: Goldfish are primarily herbivores despite what many aquarist feed them. Comets and Common Goldfish will take foods such as Brine Shrimp and shelled peas (which are excellent for constipation). However, “meatier” types of foods should be used sparingly, and very high protein foods such as worms should be avoided altogether. The comet goldfish is very similar to the common goldfish, and the two are often confused. The difference is that the comet goldfish has a longer body and longer, flowing fins. Comet goldfish are usually reddish-orange in color but also come in red, orange, yellow, white and bi-color varieties like the Sarasa Comet, which is a red and white bi-color variety. Comet goldfish temperament and care Comet goldfish, like their common goldfish cousins, are a very hardy variety of goldfish and are excellent for the novice aquarist. The comet requires no exceptional care and can survive in the same conditions that host common goldfish. Like the common goldfish, comets can grow to a length of up to thirteen inches and can live for decades. But as with the common goldfish, such lengths and long lifespans can only be expected given adequate space. Due to their hardy nature, comets make excellent pond fish and are usually a feature of koi ponds. As with the common goldfish, the comet should not be kept with slower, double tailed goldfish varieties, as they are strong swimmers that are able to out-compete their slower cousins for food. Feeding comet goldfish is by no means a complicated task as they will eat almost anything and everything that they can fit in their mouths. Comets, like all goldfish are omnivores and can be fed regularly on a diet of flakes or pellets available at pet stores. The comet goldfish diet can also be supplemented with pieces of cucumber, zucchini, broccoli, shelled peas and clippings from certain aquatic plants
