I started my pond with feeder fish. Over the years the hardy have survived
and reproduced giving every kind of goldfish imaginable. The colors range
from gold - orange - Chinese red - black - white and mixtures of those
colors. I just assumed those feeder fish were common comet. Apparently
not.

First question: Substrate or no Substrate?

No substrate. It will soon be covered in algae and crud.

Goldfish, look at wakins, shubunkins & sarassas, rather than just the
common comet. ~ jan
