Jorge - 2013-01-21 Hello I have 2 young veiltails (about 6 cm) in a 18 L nano tank, it has an air pump and filtering by gravity (with activated carbon). Can I care for those fishes in that tank? Thanks!

Jasmine Brough Hinesley - 2013-01-22 Two of these fish should be fine in an 18 Liter Nano Tank. The general rule is for every inch of fish you should have 1 gallon of water. These guys usually only get to be a little over 2 inches when full grown and so that tank should be just large enough to accomodate their full grown size. I wouldn't add anymore fish though.
JustMe - 2014-07-26 Two fish of this type need at least 151L as they can grow 6 inches each and are huge waste producers.
Lori B - 2013-06-15 Our family runs a catfish paylake. Today the oddest thing happened. Someone caught a beautiful veiltail goldfish. It weight approx 1 to 1 1/2 lbs. It is white and orange. We have no clue how it got there unless someone may have tried to use it for catfish bait or someone may have had it and decided they didn't want it anymore and released it into our pond. We need to find it a good home. Does anyone have any idea how much this fish may be worth? We know nothing about it! Thanks for your time and any input will be greatly appreciated!

Clarice Brough - 2013-06-15 What an interesting additon to your lake, but yeah, it probably was introduced. Goldfish are pretty adaptable in terms of temperature and water conditions, so can live in a wide range of environments. It will take someone with a large aquarium or a pond to house this fish, as they are dirty fish, putting a pretty heavy bio-load into a system. Still you can probably find someone to take it or buy it, or possibly a pet store. Price is hard to say as these fish don't cost a lot. Usually they are small to medium in size when sold, ranging from $3 - 10.
Anonymous - 2013-10-25 Veiltail goldfish are very hard to come by. Most are sold at about 3' and range in price from $40 to $80 depending on specific type and the right buyer. If it happens to be an all white without the ryukin shape or telescope eyes please let me take it off your hands.
Jennie - 2012-04-06 Today I gentleman gave me his 10 year veil tail goldfish. It is the most stunning fish I have ever seen and I feel very privileged to have it. It takes pride of place in my family room to sit and admire.

cheyenne - 2011-07-07 I got my veiltailed goldy entirely by mistake! I was at petsmart looking for some more ryukins to put into my tank. I came across this little tiny baby that could not have been more than 3 months old that had ich. I felt so bad for the little guy, all alone in a tank full of older, bigger ruykins and telescopes. I asked if I could get him for $3 since he was little and had ich. They agreed at $3 and I took him home. With some molly buddies in a 55 gal. tank, it took about 5 days to get rid of the ich. It took another 6 months until I compared his fins with my ryukins fins and gasped, realizing that he was indeed a veiltailed goldfish with perfect fins and a very pronounced hump behind his head. He was probably the last baby of the older fish in the tank at petsmart. He is still alive and weighs a hefty 1 lb. He has produced many little hims that are as happy and healthy as he is:] He is only about 4 years old, with plenty of food and females, somtimes I wish I were him. . . with plenty of males of course.

jay - 2010-11-11 After 6 months of long search for a veiltail I've finally got myself one, it was mixed in along with the fancy goldfish. It is an oranda veiltail, but I still love it. (too bad it just got infested with ick)
Thrillzz Pleaser - 2012-05-23 Where can I buy veiltails? I need them soo bad, I have two amazing veiltail albino red oscars. I'm a collector of rare red/bloddy/ super red oscars.

Clarice Brough - 2013-01-15 Try asking your local fish store to special order them for you, or you can try online... sometimes they are available. You could also contact goldfish breeder clubs. Good luck:)
Everett S. - 2008-10-13 What type of environment does the Calico Goldfish like? Does it mind to be with another fish, one that is a different kind?

FishFriend - 2010-06-15 It likes to be in groups of it's own kind and other species of goldfish!
4Goldfish - 2011-07-03 It likes to be with another goldfish with similar tail type and eating habits. But I need more information. What is the other type of fish?
4Goldfish - 2011-07-03 Goldfish are social creatures. 2 is good, but 3 or 4 is even better.
The graceful Veiltail Goldfish is one of the most beautiful goldfish, with wispy long flowing fins that make it look like an angel!
