Are there any fish that don't die easily?

Yes, In general coldwater fish like goldfish are more hardy(harder to kill) than tropical fish. Saltwater fish are very easy to kill if you don't know what you are doing.

How come goldfish die easily?

Goldfish only die easily when they are not properly cared for.One goldfish needs a 20 gallon aquarium on it's own, and you need an additional 10 gallons for every additional goldfish (so if you have 3 goldfish, you need a 40 gallon aquarium at minimum).While this might seem excessive, it's really not. Not only can goldfish grow very large, but they are extremely high waste producers, and as such, when overstocked in a tank that is just too small, and without a filter along with weekly water changes, the toxins build up quickly and kill the fish.


When do goldfish die?

Do calico telescope goldfish eat feeder goldfish?

Only if the "feeder Goldfish" - which is usually just a mutt bred Common/Comet Goldfish, is very small and the Telescope is an adult. If it fits in their mouth, that's where it will end up! However, "feeder" Goldfish have the potential to get over 10"-12" excluding tail fin, and a large one of these could very easily fatally injure a more fragile fancy Telescope Goldfish. The two varieties should never be mixed.

If it is a small goldfish, it will physically fit in something that small. But, it will not live very long in it.
