I bought a group of 12 Red Comet goldfish for my backyard pond. They are active and colorful, and have been thriving for over six months. Easy to care for and don’t require much maintenance. Great for beginners or as a gift.

The fish arrived healthy and were very active from the start. I kept them in a small pond with some plants, and they seem to be adjusting well. A good choice for someone looking for low-maintenance fish.

Perfect for a first-time pond owner. The goldfish are vibrant and peaceful. I’ve seen them swim in circles and play together, which is very entertaining to watch.
