Lemon Gold Comet Goldfish
The Lemon Gold Comet Goldfish would be an exciting addition to your freshwater aquarium, with its slim body, gold and yellow coloring, and flowing (not stiff) tail and fins. They have the qualities that make them an excellent pet: they are active, hearty, and have a peaceful temperament. Also, they can live a long time when housed in optimal conditions.
One of the reasons Lemon Gold Comet Goldfish are fun to watch is because they are active swimmers that like to explore their surroundings. For this reason, we recommend they make their home in a 30-gallon aquarium or larger. For backyard garden ponds, 180 gallons or more is recommended. They like tanks with a fine gravel bottom and hardy, cold water plants. Because they are diggers, they will scatter the fine sand onto leaves, injuring plants.

The goldfish are very active and colorful. They swim freely and don’t seem to stress easily. I keep them in a 40-gallon tank with plants and they’ve been thriving for over a year. The tail movement is smooth and natural.
Dylan Simpson –
They look beautiful with their yellow and gold coloring. I noticed they dig a bit in the gravel, so I added a layer of larger gravel on top. They’re peaceful and enjoy exploring the tank.

Great choice for beginners. The fish are lively and don’t fight with other species. I’ve kept them in a 30-gallon tank with java fern and they’re doing well.

They are active and pretty, but they do dig up the sand. I had to rearrange some plants. Still, they’re a fun addition to the tank.
