Goldfish are an excellent addition to a home ornamental pond and are a great fish for beginners and get on really well with other pond fish. Comet varieties are generally the hardiest and are much faster to escape from predators such as Kookaburras and Herons although their intense colour does attract attention to ensure your pond has plenty of greenery on the pond surface to hide.
Pond Size
These fish do well in most sized ponds and you will see them grow to over 45cm long in larger ponds. Goldfish can be messy feeders, so owners of smaller ponds that contain many goldfish may find keeping the water crystal clear a tad difficult and will need to include additional filtration to manage the water clarity.
Temperature
Goldfish will tolerate extremes in temperature from below freezing to 30 degrees, making them ideal for the temperature ranges we experience across Australia.
Food
As part of their varied diet, goldfish will consume algae, mosquito larvae and other water bugs however goldfish do best with a pellet or flake diet every 1 to 2 days to keep their colour strong and healthy. They will grow much quicker on frequent feedings, plus they are fun to feed!
