The Sarasa Comet differs from the wild Carp in that it lacks the barbels on the mouth area, the markings at the base of the scales, and the size. The Sarasa Comet is a hardy fish and is brilliant red with white patches. The related Pond Comets are entirely orange-red. The ideal set-up for the Sarasa Comet is a pond of at least 180 gallons with a gravel substrate, rocks, and hearty plants. This fish will grow in proportion to its surroundings. It likes to eat the roots of plants and will dig to get to them, so provide large rocks around the base of the plants to protect them. Adequate filtration should be provided in order to maintain proper water conditions. The male can be differentiated from the female by the concave anal section, and sometimes, breeding spots on the head. Spawning may result in as many as 1,000 eggs and the fry emerge in about six days. Feed the fry small, live foods, and their color will emerge in about eight months. The Sarasa Comet requires a quality pellet or flake food that does not exceed 30% protein. Ideal pond mates include: Koi, Other Comets, and Fancy Goldfish of similar size.<br><b>References : </b><br> That's a comet-tail or sarasa….Unlike spherical-bodied goldfish they are fast and active swimmers. wow your fish is quite tame! congrats!

I have one like that except completely orange (although the black on that one might be ammonia burns healing). except he ripped his fins a year or so ago and the ripped part grew back white, but I actually think that makes him look more interesting lol anyway, beautiful fish you have! ------ Olivia, you forgot to site your sources! don't worry, I'll site them for you. it's very important to site them because if you don't it's like saying you've written that all yourself and it's called plagiarism which is illegal :( anyway, here's where you got all that from: http://www.southtexaswgc.org/goldfish.html<br><b>References : </b><br> just a comet, I personally LOVE them, their fins are so neat.

They can get to be 14 inch long and require a lot of room. Im not sure if you knew this but i decided to tell you because you seem to like your new goldfish so i wanted to let you know how to best take care of it. Also make sure to test the ammonia and ph levels in your tank, to keep the water at a good level. I cant tell if the black on his fins is because that is his color or if they are ammonia burns, but if you notice a lot of black marks on him they may be ammonia burns. Good luck with your new goldfish. One more thing befor i turn this in. Picking up your goldfish is ok as long as you do it safely, but this also can rub off the goldfish's slime coat, which protects it from disease, so i wouldnt hold him very often. Edit: it is definitly not a koi, or a koi mix. kois have wiskers on their face kinda like a catfish.<br><b>References : </b><br> It looks like a common or mabey a comet. it could be a shubunkin, It looks like you were keeping it in a bowl (mabey you just took the pics in one).

So I would have to guess it's mixed Goldfish and Butterfly Kois. The difference between goldfish and kois are that kois have long whiskers.<br><b>References : </b><br> I have no idea, but I know some kois that has long fins like those.
