Calico Goldfish ~1.5"

Calico goldfish, also known as "tricolor" goldfish, are a popular variety of fancy goldfish that are prized for their colorful and striking appearance. They are characterized by their orange, white, and black coloration, which gives them a unique and eye-catching look. When introducing calico goldfish to a new aquarium, it is important to make sure the water conditions are appropriate for their needs. They also require a well-filtered tank with plenty of oxygenation to keep the water clean and healthy.

It is also important to avoid introducing calico goldfish to a tank with aggressive or fin-nipping fish, as their flowing fins and delicate coloration can make them a target for harassment. Similarly, they should not be kept with fast-swimming or highly active fish, as they are slower-moving and may have difficulty competing for food. Overall, calico goldfish can make excellent and visually striking additions to a well-maintained aquarium, provided that their unique needs are met and they are properly introduced to their new environment.
