Charlie Roche - 2012-01-30 When the female is carrying eggs - somehow the male knows this and he will start to push her or push at her abdomen until the eggs are released. He will then fertilize the eggs. How long? That depends on the age of your fish. They will figurew out when.
brianna - 2012-01-15 I bought two fantail goldfish yesterday and the white one is constantly chasing the red one. I'm worried the red one might die from stress. Any advice?

Charlie Roche - 2012-01-16 Just watch them and give them a few days to settle in and determine who is the BOSS. Things should quiet down. Are there decorations etc for them to hide if necessary? If not just put a coffeee mug in there and lay it sideways.

Charlie Roche - 2012-01-14 You might want to do some reading on size of tanks required for your fish. The fantails as adults are going to go about 6 inches and would require something around 20 gallons for the two adult fantails. You have added a number of other fish that will get larger into a 20 gallon and that 20 gallon tank is just not going to be large enough to insure the health and growth of the fish you have added.
Rhiannon - 2008-07-28 I have two fantails called dick and dom, but dom just stays on the gravel of the aquarium. I wonder if this is normal behavior, it's as if he's sulking!

Alex Burleson - 2011-12-04 How long has the fish done this? If it is a recent behavior, then the fish could have fallen ill; however, if this fish has done this for quite some time, it may be due to a swim bladder disorder, or another dysfunction.

Jasmine Brough Hinesley - 2011-11-09 Yes goldfish can eat floating foods - such as flakes and goldfish pellets. I would say that you generally would not want them eating crackers, though!

Charlie Roche - 2011-08-25 Goldfish eat just about anything - so it is difficult. Java Fern is supposed to be a real sturdy pkant that goldfish either can't or won't eat. There are also some mosses that are recommended. This is a link for a fella who has live plants in with his goldfish and what he went through to do it and how. Good luck. http://thegab.org/Plants/goldfish-and-plants-the-low-tech-approach.html
sylvia clifton - 2011-09-23 there isn't any that don't eat plants,and be careful because some plants can be poisonous. Here's something else you could do go to the internet and click on fantail goldfish and see if you can ask a question on that page,and you could find out what plants go with fantail goldfish,that should do it.
Shirley smith - 2011-10-08 I am sill looking for a plant my fantails will NOT eat. If you find one I would love to know the name :(

Charlie Roche - 2011-09-21 Attached article on Fish Diseases and Treatment. I'd look up the symptoms and see if corresponding treatment. Sounds like the one fish was ill and the other fish might have wanted to protect tank and enviornment. How big is your tank? Check out symptoms and see recommended treatment. Doesn't sound good that he is on his back like that so I don't know if much can be done. But we can learn so it doesn't happen again. OK?

The Fantail Goldfish is a show goldfish, its distinguishing feature being a split or double caudal (tail) fin!
