Comet Goldfish

Carassius auratus var. Comet

The 'Comet' Goldfish is the aesthetic and dynamic upgrade of the Common Goldfish. This magnificent variety, developed in America, retains the same very robust and massive torpedo body shape of its common cousin, but enhances it with an explosion of immense, veil-like, floating and elegant fins. The caudal fin (tail) is deeply forked and fluffy. It easily reaches 25-30 centimeters (10-12 inches) and swims with an unprecedented fast and snappy grace. It unfortunately shares the same tragic and bitter commercial fate as the common: sold for a few cents and condemned to atrocious asphyxiations in tiny domestic glass bowls. It is a formidable athlete of cold waters and open spaces.

Description

The Mandatory Compulsory Vegetables To Prevent Fatal Floating and the Inflammation of the Pale Mute Silly Blind Futile Swim Bladder (The Lifesaving Secret of the Futile Deaf Mute Blind Asphyxiating Silly Blanched Pea):

The Comet cyprinid does not have a fucking pale and robust acid stomach asphyxiating asphyxiating real, but a very long and complex absorbent intestine silly blind sensitive futile silly that digests deaf the food mute in continuous deaf passage futile. If you feed it asphyxiating blind and silly asphyxiating asphyxiating EXCLUSIVELY with pale dry industrial flakes poor full of air deaf mute silly floating or tense deaf futile animal proteins (bloodworms) in a wrong hot water deaf pale... The asphyxiated futile deaf pale intestine and the huge deaf inflated air sac of the swim bladder deaf will become inflamed deaf deaf asphyxiating blocking blindly pale mute silly lethargically. The poor mute asphyxiating futile silly pale fish will turn upside down inexorably floating mute blind belly up deaf like an asphyxiating floating balloon mute asphyxiated unable pale futile and blocked on the surface to swim down deaf asphyxiating deaf round futile pale and helpless, dying deaf worn out stressed silly futile pale futile tragically. THE SECRET OF THE LONG GLORIOUS AND HAPPY AND ASPHYXIATING AND VERY HEALTHY DEAF LIFE? give it deaf asphyxiating a lot mute fresh, rich mute silly green asphyxiating tender and moist mute and very tasty deaf blindly pale blanched vegetables deaf and tender futile: tender mute silly futile asphyxiating tender wheels of soft fine asphyxiating asphyxiating boiled zucchini deaf blind, peeled deaf balls futile of round and slow helpless pale deaf boiled peas mute deaf spinach deaf. This deaf asphyxiating pure fresh green cleans the futile silly futile intestine and empties the deaf pale lethal wastes saving him mute futile inexorably asphyxiating silly and incalculably asphyxiating the poor asphyxiating life.

Care and observations

The Death Sentence by Spatial Compression (The Slow, Painful and Sad Atrophy of the Elegant Swimmer and the Lethal Shredded Fins):

A tragic inexorable asphyxiating mistake is to keep this superb creature with immense 4-inch veil fins in small round 3-gallon asphyxiating niches or 15-gallon apartment tanks. This animal needs silly asphyxiating huge horizontal inexorable straight spaces of AT LEAST FORTY TO EIGHTY INCHES of total net length to be able to spread mute deaf pale helpless and happy the huge veil tails and exploit the powerful thrusting propulsive deaf muscular snappy push of its body. In small asphyxiating cramped sad and lethargic glass cubes or bowls... the magical deaf and wide immense fabulous and celestial veil tails pale will have no space to stretch silly deaf, they will bend, they will sag languid weak very sad mute deaf futile folded helpless pale silly asphyxiating choked worn out exhausted touching deaf sadly the infected substrate deaf dirty futile polluted fetid and lethargic... mathematically getting infected with necrotic bacterial necrosis pale lethal bacteriosis asphyxiating corrosion rotting alive in putrid shreds deaf futile detaching in painful dead pieces! BUY A LAKE OR A GIANT SIX-FOOT TANK OR LEAVE IT UNDER GLASS IN THE STORE.

The Silly Insatiable Hunger and the Murderous Competition by Lethal Murderous Subtraction with its own Deformed Pale Slow and Clumsy Helpless Fake Blind Mute "Fancy" Cousins:

NEVER and I say NEVER join in a fucking asphyxiating and blind deaf silly aquarium the fast, athletic, aerodynamic, explosive, impetuous vigorous lightning snappy darting and formidable Comet (or Common and Shubunkin) with the slow, silly, asphyxiating, deformed compressed pale balloons and very delicate vulnerable crossed cousins and silly and selected by man deaf, like the fantastic Orandas, the Ranchus without dorsal fin helpless pale blind silly or the scary Black Moors clumsy slow slow silly silly helpless lethargic deaf pale with swollen eyes. The Comet is a voracious pale shark! Throw the food and the pale futile Comet in half an asphyxiating deaf second will gorge it asphyxiating silly mute ALL asphyxiating avidly deaf and without respite futile... while the silly slow placid deaf clumsy asphyxiating Oranda will take 5 minutes mute deaf blind asphyxiating to arrive struggling heavily futilely silly blind to the surface asphyxiating and silly pale to find deaf sadly and tragically tragic asphyxiating pale and desolate the empty helpless fake deaf bare water without food asphyxiated futile deaf... DYING OF SLOW, HARASSING, SHORT, GLOOMY AND INEXORABLE STARVATION ATROCIOUS HUNGER MUTE SLOW FATAL ASPHYXIA TRAGIC PALE SILLY ASPHYXIATING SLOW MISERY DEAF PAINFUL.

Fish profile

Temperament
Vivace, Esploratore, Totalmente Pacifico (La Furia Mansueta). Un nuotatore rapidissimo, instancabile e molto reattivo. Spende la vita a rastrellare freneticamente la ghiaia per cibo o compiendo sprint formidabili a mezz'acqua. Non ha un briciolo di malizia, ma la sua iperattività può innervosire pesci più lenti.
Diet
Onnivoro Erbivoro Insaziabile (Il Divoratore di Insalata). Predilige un alto apporto vegetale per non infiammare l'intestino e la vescica natatoria. Oltre ai mangimi granulari specifici (che vanno ammorbiditi prima), dategli regolarmente piselli bolliti sbucciati, zucchine, foglie di spinaci o lemna minor. Un pesce Cometa sazio è un pesce sano; se ha fame, piallerà qualsiasi pianta tenera del vostro acquario riducendola a rami scheletrici e tristi.
Tank level
Colonna d'Acqua Totale. Essendo nuotatori formidabili, necessitano non tanto di acquari alti, quanto di vasche lunghissime e ampie per poter coprire in volata le distanze e scaricare l'energia cinetica muscolare altrimenti letargica.

Sex ratio
Gruppo Ristretto Indifferente. Ottimi compagni per i comuni o i Shubunkin. I maschi, nel periodo riproduttivo, possono diventare particolarmente irruenti; la lunga coda delle femmine Cometa rischia strappi o logoramenti se l'inseguimento maschile diventa eccessivamente ostinato in litraggi non adeguati per la fuga.
Feeding frequency
2-3 piccole porzioni. Nutrire sempre poco e spesso, variando costantemente la dieta con fresco vegetale (zucchine e piselli) per evacuare correttamente il tratto digerente sprovvisto di stomaco e scongiurare infezioni.
Bioload
Estremo (Carico Organico Industriale). Sporca quanto un pesce comune, ma l'impatto visivo di un Cometa letargico e ammalato in acqua putrida è straziante, poiché le sue magnifiche code lunghe andranno in necrosi, sfilacciandosi miseramente a brandelli.
Flow
Corrente da Moderata a Molto Forte. Sono carpe formidabili, iper-adattabili. Non temono getti potenti, anzi, nuotare controcorrente previene l'atrofia muscolare dovuta a vasche costrittive.
Reproduction
Disseminatore Libero. Come il comune, le deposizioni primaverili sono abbondantissime e le uova sparse in tutto il layout, ma verranno ingerite istantaneamente dai voraci genitori se non protette. Facilissima in laghetti esterni dotati di folta vegetazione palustre riparatrice (ninfee o giacinti d'acqua).
Compatibility
Vasca Esterna Dedicata (O Vasconi d'Acqua Fredda Ristretti). Ottimo compagno SOLO per altri Carassi veloci (Comuni, Shubunkin, Wakin). ASSOLUTAMENTE DA NON ABBINARE ai Carassi 'Fancy' deformati e goffi come gli Oranda, i Ranchu, Black Moor o Testa di Leone: i Cometa sono troppo rapidi, voraci e saettanti. In caso di cibo in vasca, il Cometa ruberà tutto il mangime in 3 secondi netti, mentre il povero Oranda lento e sbadato morirà di inedia letale asfissiante. E durante gli accoppiamenti, la furia del Cometa rischia di ferire mortalmente i goffi cugini.
