What fish can go with a comet goldfish?
Q. We where planning to get other fish for my 1 comet goldfish because she seems lonley. So what fish can go with a comet goldfish? And since I feed her goldfish flakes and I add a different kind of fish, what if the fish eats the goldfish flakes?
Asked by Laughter P - Wed Jun 4 00:02:09 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Best option, other comet, shubunkin or common goldfish. Dont mix them with the round bodied fancy goldfish, the faster swimming slim bodied fish will win the race for food every time. You are going to need a big tank or a pond for multiple comet type goldies though. Ian

What species of fish is white with a brown tail?
Q. I saw a fish in one of the aquariums at the San Francisco airport and there was no sign that said what it was called. The fish's body and fins are white, and the tail is a dark brown color. I've taken to calling it a root beer float fish. Anyway, any fish experts out there who know what this variety is called? It wasn't very big. If I remember correctly, about six inches in length give or take an inch.
