In all probabillty, if they are chasing wildly and sometimes breaking the surface, they are spawning.
I have never heard of a "Pond Rocket Goldfish" and I can find no listing for such an animal in any fish reference book. That fact suggests to me that someone has made up name for a fish they didn't know how to identify. If the fish is a basic goldfish shape and has a tail that is very long (about half to one body length) it is probably a "Comet"
No, because the goldfish waste and food builds up to be pretty toxic, and the bad quality could easily infect your dog
A goldfish can live in an opaque glass tank as long as you keep up with necessary water changes. Like a small outside garden pond goldfish are only viewed from the top.
yes you can keep your comet goldfish in a goldfishpond.In fact having them in a pond is a good idea, as long as they are not subjected to herons and other predators, because this variety of goldfish gets very large: up to a foot! :)
Yes, the rate at which a goldfish grows, and its overall size, is often partially determined by its environment. This is why pond goldfish are considerably larger than aquarium goldfish, and why goldfish that are cramped-up in bowls stay relatively small. If you want your goldfish to grow into large healthy fish you'll buy them a large aquarium or pond to live in.
The Americans thought that they were teaming up
You have several choices, get a larger tank for them or put them into a pond (where goldfish should be) or remove some and take them back to a pet shop. Whatever you decide to do is up to you. You may even be able to think of some other alternatives.
Goldfish grow to be very large (up to 12 inches)and live very long(20+years).A common goldfish should live in an aquarium that contains at least one gallon of water per inch of fish(a goldfish will be happier in aquariums larger than that).Fancy goldfish should have a minimum of 15 gallons per fish and won't do well in a tank smaller than 30 gallons.Goldfish are pond and large aquariumcreatures:they don't belong in a bowl!
Every Second! Gold Fish are Very messy and need a filter to keep them alive. I suggest you put your Goldfish in a pond. Make sure there is more than one, Goldfish have friends just like you and me. Or you could get a 20 gallon tank (the tank has to be big enough so goldfish can grow up to 10 inches long WITH a filter. okay long story short, one inch per fish needs at least a gallon!
They get along with goldfish but you'll end up with babies that are part goldfish. I have them in the same pond and that's what happened to me. The main problem with putting Koi with other fish, is sometimes the other fish like to eat Koi.
You can pick them up at about any pet store that sells goldfish. We have a white one we picked up at Wal-Mart and a black one from Petco.
It can't be done. Goldies get huge unless they are the facy kind. Try a pond or get five in a thirty gallon.
