Comets

[RiJe]

Hi,
I'm new to the board but I noticed a lot of people have goldfish but i mainly see wakins or shubunkins, I was just wondering if anyone has or raises comet's.  And is it just personal preferance that these aren't as popular?

I have 10      6 yr old goldies...5 are orange or yellow...does that count?  The black/comet fry will out number the colored by far.

I have regular comets that started out as feeder goldfish from the pet store.  I eventually have kept the ones I have like the most over the years & just now starting to breed watonai as I love goldfish that are sleek with long flowing fins.

I deffinately have comets, and watch them get bigger every year. And they are vey special to me.

My first pond started with red feeder fish about 8 years ago.  Now only 3 of the original 12 remain.     Two of these red goldies have just turned white this year! 

I have rescued other feeder fish from my other water plant pots and kiddie pools recently from the claws of the raccoons that have been doing take out in my yard    There are probably 6 nice red and orange 4" goldies.  Very hardy fish.

Thanks....I have comet and watonai.  I'm going to start a pond project in a couple weeks.  I'm tring to get everything straight as far as filtration and plants.  If any of ya'll have advice it is more than welcome.
