Choosing the right fancy goldfish for your tank
Fancy goldfish grow larger and produce more waste than most people expect, so plan on about 20 gallons for the first fish and 10 gallons for each additional one, with strong filtration and weekly water changes. They are cool-water fish that do best around 65 to 74°F and do not need a heater in most homes. Keep fancies with other fancies; single-tailed comets and commons are faster and will outcompete them for food.
Because of their compact body shape, fancy goldfish are prone to swim bladder trouble, so feed sinking pellets or gel food rather than floating flakes, soak dry food briefly and offer blanched peas and vegetables regularly. Keep decor smooth, since telescopes, bubble eyes and celestials have delicate eyes, and avoid sharp gravel.

Frequently asked questions
Are fancy goldfish good for beginners?
Yes, provided you give them enough space and filtration. Fantails, orandas and ryukins are the hardiest choices; bubble eyes and celestials need more attention.
What tank size do fancy goldfish need?
Around 20 gallons for the first fish plus 10 gallons for each additional goldfish. Bigger is always better for water quality.
Can fancy goldfish live with tropical fish?
It is not recommended. Goldfish prefer cooler water than most tropical species and are easily nipped or outcompeted.
