Calico Fantail Goldfish
Goldfish are a great starter fish to recommend for ponds and aquariums. The Calico Fantail Goldfish has a white body with markings of red, orange, and black. They have a large, forked caudal tail that is round like a fan. Like most goldfish, the Calico Fantail will get quite large and will need a large aquarium or pond when fully grown. They are considered diggers, so use caution when adding plants because they can get uprooted. They are very hardy and will eat almost any pellet or flake that you offer, but be sure the food has vegetable foods in it. Freshwater food with vegetables will help prevent swim bladder problems.
