The Fancy Goldfish Pack makes an elegant addition for any goldfish lover. This beautiful assortment of ornamental goldfish celebrates the wonderful diversity in coloration, morphology, and finnage found within this popular and cherished group of fish.

The Fancy Goldfish Pack contains the following four varieties of fancy ornamental goldfish: Black Moor Goldfish, Mixed Fantail Goldfish, Red Oranda Goldfish, and Red & White Ryukin.

As members of the carp family, Fancy Goldfish are generally quite hardy. They will do well in 30 gallon aquariums or larger, as well as backyard garden ponds of 180 gallons or more. In addition to a fine gravel bottom or well-rounded river rocks, Fancy Goldfish appreciate hardy, cold water plants. Keep in mind that goldfish are diggers and will scatter the fine sand onto leaves, injuring thin and less hardy plants.

There appears to be a definite courtship ritual when goldfish breed. Breeding often results in up to 1,000 eggs, with fry hatching in five to six days. They should be fed small pieces of live or prepared foods designed for egg-laying fish.

Fancy Goldfish are omnivores and will eat all types of dried and live foods. However, limit protein intake to 30% of the diet. Goldfish flake or pellet food will provide these fish with the proper nutrition.
