    My cousin once had a few comet's that spawned in a gold fish bucket many moons ago.. but they did not come out!
    Heck this is interesting! I talked to one guy and he said in his opinion keeping goldfish healthy is a bigger issue then keeping Discus..That is his opinion that I am sharing.

    i decided to feed algae and green water after i discovered something strange,
    i put a few of the culled fish with unapealing feature into a small pond at my moms place with lillies algae and green water
    when i put him in 2 weeks ago he was 1/5 the size and had no colour at all,
    its such a pity about his back shape,coz his colouring is awesome

    Goldfish love greenwater ponds,I have always kept mine in a shallow little pond with no filter and they always grow at a huge rate and their colour and shape comes out amazing(even after a few days).

    I read a story once on how people in Singapore keep their goldfish in a prime state for display in their homes by rotating them with others in a greenwater pond say every month or so to ensure that they are always at their prettiest.

    Personally I would prefer not changing the fishes environment every month but goes to show...

    Lovely fish by the way!
