[edit] Living Spaces

hello, i have a comet fish. they live indoors. i am not sure if this is cruel. if it is please contact me.

-- I would imagine that this is only cruel if you are not keeping them in water :) I have comet goldfish in a rather small tank myself however they are but babies! When they are larger I would insist on putting them in a much much larger tank or outside depending on weather. Comets don't like getting very hot so I don't know how they hold up in summer months in an outside pond. SwordRaven 19:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] effects of rain in ponds

I have a question. Is there any effect on a ponds water and the comet goldfish when it rains?

-- Depends on the chemical make-up of the rain itself, if it is fairly acidic then in large amounts it may affect the fish. Generally however I don't think that there should be much in the way of problems. SwordRaven 19:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Temprature

quick question

whats the hottest temprature these little fishys can live in i read the coldest but not the hottest Maverick423 18:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Carp are naturally pond fish, not tropicals. You can see that in the fact that the newsgroup about ponds caters to aquaria. You can probably find an answer more easily than ask it, because the question strikes me as a way to either cause or treat disease like ichthyo -sporidum or -phthiriosity.

A more decorative breed of this carp seems to survive 86F, but I wouldn't recommend that for anything but temporary treatment. Brewhaha@edmc.net 13:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
