       Breeding: Egg scatterers. Males develop breeding stars on their
       gill plates during spawning season.
       Tank size: A tank with the dimensions 48"x18"x21" should be the
       smallest considered for ONE of the common goldfish (or comet
       goldfish). Ideally a pond is best.

       mountain minnows (although they may be eaten) and other
       goldfish.

       Note: Contrary to common belief these fish can get quite large
