How long do fantail goldfish get?

Answer 1

The lifespan of fantail goldfish can be expected to be about 10-25 years. Unfortunately, few fish actually make it past the three year mark because of their owner's inexperience. Here is a list of things you can do to improve your fish's chances of living a very long and happy life: buy an aquarium of at least 30 gallons (more preferably), feed them a high-quality fish food and give them plenty of variety in foodstuffs, do weekly 50% water changes, and observe your fish each day for about 15 minutes to look for any signs of illness.

Answer 2

Since goldfish are cold blooded they do not need to waste energy trying to keep their body temperature constant therefore they don't need to eat as much and can go longer without food than warm blooded animals. A fantail goldfish can last about 7-8 days without food before they begin to starve.

Answer 3

Fantail goldfish are rather small when it comes to goldfish. As adults they only measure about 4-6 inches, unlike the fancy Orandas that grow well over 10 inches. However, being on the smaller side makes them easier to care for and they are not to mention one of the hardier varieties of goldfish.

Answer 4

Possibly over 25 years, it all really just depends on how well you take care of it and its own genetics.

Answer 5

They can roughly stay alive for about 2-10 years depending on the kind of fish you have.

Answer 6

Over 20 years if they're taking care of properly

Answer 7

They can live anywhere from 2 days to 20 or 25 years. It all depends on how the water is kept and how happy it is.
