Well, Comet goldfish are also known as feeder fish. They can live a very short lifespan or a one that lasts about 2 years. They are hardy fish and are meant to be put in ponds like koi are. These fish are related to koi. The fish can grow to about a foot long if they are properly taken care of. You can buy them at your local pet store for about 20 cents.

No goldfish would prefer to have a lower temperature than any type of tropical fish, however some goldfish can withstand higher temperature if they are slowly acclimated to it!

Without feeding Oscar fish food how many times to you feed your Oscar feeder fish?

Oscars are carnivorous fish, so they can spend their entire lives eating insects, fish and other organisms smaller than itself. A Fightn' Fact- However, Goldfish are HORRIBLE feeder fish that contain too much fat. In short, Goldfish will kill your fish over time. Just buy a 5-10 gallon tank for guppies. They cost more upfront, but are less expensive in the long run. They breed rapidly so they re-stock themselves monthly. Guppies (whether pets or food) will save you a lot of money.


Life expectancy for fish on goldfish?

If you buy a feeder goldfish, usually their lifespan isn't that long, because they are eaten by another pet animal soon anyway. However, I doubt that their lifespan will not be so different from a normal goldfishs' if you take care of them properly-just like a normal goldfish. It is just that they are normally sold in such crowded spaces that I think they are more prone to disease.
