  Ease of care

  Diet
  Flake & sinking pellets are best. High Protein fish food when they are breeding. Sinking Pellets are best to help prevent swim bladder issues.

  Community with other peaceful Fancy Goldfish and bottom feeders such as a Borneo Loach in cold water tanks. They will eat most live plants.
  Breeding/ Sex
  Moderate. They are egg layers and breed best when in groups as they are very social.

  They can live up to 10-15 Years in perfect conditions.
