indoor comet

goldseverum109 · 03-11-2007, 05:00 PM

i love comets, i dont know why, i just like the way they look, i was wondering what you all thought would be the proper tank size to facilitate 2 pond comets.

very large. More than 100 gallons.

i'd say a 150 would be in order.

My God...please tell my that you can put other fish in there too. Who would pay that much money for a tank just to hold two fish...

Oh, I dunno..somebody who cares about their well-being, maybe?

By the way, I have 3 year-old comet about 14 inches long.

1000 dollars on a tank for 2 goldfish...on top of the cost of all the water, heating, lighting, food, filter...who needs kids at this price...lol. I am starting to see that having fish is not cheap by any means.

BTW could you put other fish in that tank or just the two comets?

Yeah, you can. Just make sure they're very small ones in comparison.

I keep 1 small comet with my fancy goldfish and he's about 2 inches long. I have had this comet for several months and he has about doubled in size already. When he outgrows the tank I will put him in a pond.

My comets use the full 1800 gallons in their pond.

They get very large and are very active.
