LOL...one more thing... Commets are the hardiest goldfish I've found for an indoor aquarium. They have v shaped tails and get long and streamlined sort of like flatter versions of the hardy (mostly outdoor pond) carp types. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Any goldfish with double tails or fancy headresses is a bit less hardy and usually more expensive.
PS: regarding size...the way I understood it is that the fish will grow to the capacity of his environment. I kept a single comet in a 2 gallon bowl for years then she got a five gallon aquarium and grew bigger! Do try to only have two or three small ones in a 10 gallon tank, though. It gives them room to grow without competing with ea/other at first and if all surrvive to be big fat hardy fish, move up to a 20 gallon tank!
