Overview

This yellow and black goldfish has a contrasting yellow and black markings. Supplied at approximately 5–8cm, it is a young Carassius auratus that will need much more space as it grows. Colours and markings vary between individual fish and may change with maturity.

Behaviour

Active, social fish that spend much of their time foraging. They produce substantial waste and need room to swim freely.

Tank Size

Plan for adult size rather than the small size at purchase. Provide a spacious, mature aquarium with ample swimming room, effective filtration and good oxygenation. Bowls and small tanks are unsuitable. Confirm the body and fin type of the fish in store before choosing its long-term home.

Compatibility

Keep with suitable goldfish of a similar size and swimming ability. Fancy or slower-swimming fish should not compete with fast common goldfish and comets. Small fish may be eaten.

Diet

Offer a balanced goldfish food in modest portions. Choose food suited to the fish’s body type and feeding behaviour, and remove leftovers.

Care

Use mature, effective filtration and good oxygenation. Keep ammonia and nitrite at zero, test water regularly and make partial water changes with conditioned water. Acclimatise gradually and avoid sudden temperature changes. Ask our aquatics team about the suitability of this variety for your aquarium.
