Assorted Fantail Goldfish

Assorted Fantail Goldfish - Rounded Body, Twin Tail, Mixed Colours

The Assorted Fantail Goldfish carries the classic rounded, egg-shaped body of the fancy goldfish group, finished with a flowing twin tail that fans out behind it. Sold as a mixed colour run, no two fish in the group are exactly alike.

Fantails are noticeably slower and more deliberate swimmers than single-tail comets, a trait shared across all fancy goldfish varieties, and they do best in company that won't outpace them at feeding time. They are a hardy, forgiving entry point into the fancy goldfish world.

At N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.

Species Snapshot

Ideal Habitat and Care

A 150 L or larger tank with gentle water movement and smooth decor suits this rounder-bodied, slower-swimming goldfish.

• Temperature: 18–24°C
• pH: 7.0–8.0
• Water Flow: Gentle to moderate — strong current can be tiring for this rounder-bodied, slower swimmer
• Maintenance: Strong filtration with regular partial water changes to manage waste load

Diet

An easy-feeding omnivore, the Fantail does best on smaller portions offered a few times a day.

• Goldfish flake or pellet sized for a smaller mouth
• Blanched vegetables such as peas or zucchini
• Occasional frozen bloodworm or brine shrimp
• Smaller, more frequent feeds to reduce the risk of swim bladder issues

Compatibility

This rounder-bodied fancy goldfish is a slower, more deliberate swimmer than single-tail comets and does best alongside other fancy varieties that share its gentler pace and won't out-compete it at feeding time.

Suitable tankmates include:

• Other fantail, ryukin or moor goldfish
• Other similarly slow-swimming fancy varieties
• Peaceful, cold-tolerant snails
• Avoid fast single-tail comets, which will out-compete them for food

Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
